Federal prisoner Warren Daniel Clinton appeals the district court’s1 order
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.
