““McDowell argues to us that he should have been permitted to testify and produce witnesses to support his charge. We are satisfied that the district judge’s action was proper and gave McDowell’s petition adequate consideration. His review of the files and records of the court, including the transcript certified as correct by the court’s official reporter, and the judge’s own recollection of the events of the trial at which he presided, gave him adequate information upon which to render a decision. The district judge had the right to rely upon the court’s own record and the court reporter’s transcript. Johnston v. United States, 10 Cir., 292 F.2d 51 .” United States v. McDowell, supra, l. c., 305 F.2d 14 .”
