OPINION

ORLOFSKY, District Judge.

I. INTRODUCTION

The law does not protect those who sleep on their rights. Here, Plaintiff, New West Urban Renewal Co. ("New West"), waited for at least seven years, and perhaps longer, before it sought damages for the environmental contamination of property that it purchased from Westinghouse, Inc. ("Westinghouse"), the predecessor-in-interest to the Defendant, Viacom, Inc. ("Viacom").1
