ORDER
DAUGHERTY, Chief Judge.Petitioner has filed herein his Motion ' pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2255 in which it is stated:
“Petitioner hereby alledges (sic), that the constituted trial court, in cases 72-CR-63, and 72-CR-98, failed to comply with, and honor the law, as set forth in Rule 11, Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure (sic), by not fully allowing petitioner the right to understand completely the full extent of the charges against him.”
The Court’s colloquy in each case shows that he did comply with the re*825quirements of Rule 11 and there can be no doubt that Petitioner fully understood the nature of the charge against him in each case. Petitioner was represented by competent counsel who had discussed with Petitioner his change of plea in Case No. 72-CR-63 and who represented Petitioner when he entered his plea of guilty in Case No. 72-CR-98. The Petitioner was no stranger to the criminal judicial process. In each case the Court carefully explained to the Petitioner the acts which he was accused of committing, including names, dates and places; the Petitioner specifically advised the Court that he understood the nature of the charges against him in each case. Then in ascertaining the factual basis for each plea of guilty entered by the Petitioner in each case the Court broke down each offense and item by item asked the Petitioner if he had done the particular acts charged in each of the two eases. In answer to specific questions by the Court, the Petitioner stated that he committed the acts constituting each charge. Despite these unequivocal declarations to the Court, the Petitioner now asserts that he did not really understand the charge or more specifically as Petitioner states:
“Petitioner, had no knowing of the reality of the charge, as it is written in the criminal code until in prison, when read by him in the legal libriary (sic).”
The comment of our Court of Appeals in Semet v. United States, 369 F.2d 90 (Tenth Cir. 1966) describing the conduct of the trial court at arraignment in that case is equally applicable here:
“The transcript of proceedings on the occasion of the entry of the plea of guilty discloses the trial judge’s extended efforts to communicate to the petitioner-appellant the consequences of his plea of guilty. The contents of the indictment, the right to a jury trial and the twenty-five years’ maximum sentence were fully and clearly explained by him. Petitioner-appellant unequivocally stated that he wished to change his plea to guilty ii
In the case at bar the trial judge was painstaking and thorough in satISXyilig flmiSeil Xxl&b TIÍ6 HCCuSeu vt~ fore him understood the nature of the proceeding and that his act of changing his plea was voluntary.” 369 F.2d at pp. 91-92.
The Court then held it was unnecessary to hold a factual hearing.
To satisfy the requirements of Rule 11 the record must show that the Judge asked the proper questions and received answers from the Defendant indicating his awareness of the charges against him. United States v. Thomas, 468 F.2d 422 (Tenth Cir. 1972). This the Court has done in each case. One of the purposes of Rule 11 is to produce a complete record at the time of the plea of necessary facts relative to the determination of the voluntariness of the plea. United States v. McCarthy, 394 U.S. 459, 89 S.Ct. 1166, 22 L.Ed.2d 418 (1969); United States v. Sanders, 435 F.2d 1282 (Tenth Cir. 1970). Therefore it was not intended that the careful efforts of the trial judge to make a record showing his conscientious compliance with the rule to determine that the accused understood the charge should be ignored upon the accused’s subsequent subjective complaint, that, contrary to his repeated statements to the Court, he really did not understand the charge.
“Rule 11 proceedings are not an exercise in futility. The plea of guilty is a solemn act and not to be disregarded because of belated misgivings about the wisdom of the same.” United States v. Woosley, 440 F.2d 1280 (Eighth Cir. 1971).
If, indeed, the Court cannot rely upon Petitioner’s own declarations of understanding under the circumstances here presented as to each case, then the record is rendered a nullity and Rule 11 *826proceedings, do in fact, become an exercise in futility.
Attached hereto are excerpts from the proceedings in both cases in which the Petitioner advised the Court that he understood, upon explanation by the Court, the nature of each of the charges against him and then upon pleading guilty to each acknowledged his commission of each of the crimes on a factual basis.
Petitioner’s Motion pursuant to 28 U. S.C. § 2255 should be dismissed.
