Opinion
PERREN, J.
A party testified falsely while under oath at his deposition. The original transcript of the deposition, unseen by the deponent, is sent to. his counsel where it remains. Here we conclude; that, although the testimony purportedly was false, it was contained in a document that was yet to be delivered and, therefore, did not constitute perjury in violation of Penal Code section 118. We issue a writ of prohibition.
