Before NEBEKER, MACK and BELSON, Associate Judges.


MACK, Associate Judge:

This is an appeal from an order of the trial court dismissing plaintiff-appellant's complaint. The trial court found that dismissal of the complaint was warranted on two independent grounds: first, that the plaintiff had abused the discovery process; and second, that the plaintiff had perpetrated a fraud upon the court. We affirm on the second ground without deciding the merit of the first.
