Judges Keating and Jasen dissent in part and vote to reverse and deny the motion for summary judgment in favor of the corporate defendant, Pacific Industries, Inc., in the following memorandum: We agree with the majority that plaintiff’s affidavits are insufficient to raise a triable issue of fact as to the individual defendants.
