The following excerpt is from Rodriguez v. Lewis, 967 F.2d 590 (9th Cir. 1992):
Given the complete trial court record on counsel's decision to rest at the end of the government's case, we cannot say the district court abused its discretion in not holding an evidentiary hearing. See Tinsley v. Borg, 895 F.2d 520, 530 (9th Cir.1990), cert. denied, 111 S.Ct. 974 (1991).
