Opinion for the court filed by Chief Judge RE.
RE, Chief Judge:
Appellant, Lorraine A. Beatty, brought this action claiming damages for trespass to real property and nuisance resulting from the operation of subway trains by appellee, Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority (WMATA). She appeals from an order of the United States District Court for the District of Columbia which granted WMATA’s motion for summary judgment. Having concluded that the trespass and nuisance were permanent in nature, the district court held that the action was barred by the three-year statute of limitations.
