 Within plaintiff’s declaration in support of his request for extension of time, plaintiff 1

contends defendant Soares committed perjury in defendant Soares’ response to interrogatory

advised that contentions concerning the accuracy of discovery responses, if relevant at all, are

issues for trial.
