1Per curiam
Th*e controlling question raised on this appeal is whether a lower court, on a motion made for summary judgment, and in determining that there is no genuine issue as to any material fact, can take judicial notice of its own records in concluding the issue thus raised.

Owl Drug Company, 9 Cir., 75 F.2d 45, certiorari denied, 295 U.S. 750, 55 S.Ct. 829, 79 L.Ed. 1694; United States v. North American Oil Consolidated, 9 Cir., 264 F.…
