Federal inmate Kenneth Epps appeals from the final judgment entered in the United States District Court 1 for the District of Minnesota committing him to the custody of the Attorney General under 18 U.S.C. § 4245, which provides for the involuntary hospitalization of an imprisoned person suffering from a mental disease or defect, until treatment is no longer needed or the expiration of the inmate’s sentence, whichever occurs first. After a hearing, the district court found the government had met its burden of establishing by a preponderance of evidence that Epps suffers from a mental illness requiring treatment in a suitable facility, such as the Federal Medical Center (FMC) in Rochester, Minnesota. See 18 U.S.C. § 4245(d) (burden of proof). Contrary to Epps’s argument on appeal, we conclude the district court’s finding was not clearly erroneous. See United States v. Eckerson, 299 F.3d 913, 914-15 (8th Cir. 2002) (per curiam) (standard of review). Specifically, the government offered testimony of FMC staff psychiatrist Dr. Daniel Shine, who saw Epps regularly over a considerable period of time. Dr. Shine’s opinion concerning Epps’s diagnosis and need for treatment, expressed at the hearing and in a written psychological evaluation, supported the district court’s order.

Accordingly, we affirm the judgment of the district court. Counsel’s motion to withdraw is granted.
