Petitioner's arguments were essentially the same as those
contained in his written responses to the requests for admission.
Petitioner did not deny the truth of the allegations contained in
the requests.
Rule 90(a) permits a party to serve upon any other party
written requests for admission of the truth of any matter that
relates to statements or opinions of fact or of the application
of law to fact. Rule 90(c) provides that each matter is deemed
admitted unless
within 30 days after service of the request or within
such shorter or longer time as the Court may allow, the
party to whom the request is directed serves upon the
requesting party (1) a written answer specifically
admitting or denying the matter involved in whole or in
part, or asserting that it cannot be truthfully
admitted or denied and setting forth in detail the
reasons why this is so, or (2) an objection, stating in
detail the reasons therefor. * * *
Rule 90(c) further provides that an
answering party may not give lack of information or
knowledge as a reason for failure to admit or deny
unless such party states that such party has made

Court with respect to the provisions of Rule * * * 90,
then the Court may make such orders as to the failure
as are just, and among others the following:
