-- 1 of 2 --

Federal prisoner Warren Daniel Clinton appeals the district court’s order1
committing him for mental health care or treatment under 18 U.S.C. § 4245. Having
jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291, this court affirms.
There is no clear error in the district court’s conclusion that a preponderance
of the evidence established that Clinton was in need of hospitalization for care or
treatment. See 18 U.S.C. § 4245(d) (burden of proof); United States v. Bean, 373 F.3d
877, 879 (8th Cir. 2004) (standard of review).
The judgment is affirmed, and counsel’s motion to withdraw is granted. See
8th Cir. R. 47B.

The Honorable M. Douglas Harpool, United States District Judge for the1
