Before BENTON, BOWMAN, and KELLY, Circuit Judges.
                         ____________

PER CURIAM.
       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.
                     ______________________________

      1
      The Honorable M. Douglas Harpool, United States District Judge for the
Western District of Missouri, adopting the report and recommendations of the
Honorable David P. Rush, United States Magistrate Judge for the Western District of
Missouri.
