                               ____________

Before LOKEN, GRUENDER, and SHEPHERD, Circuit Judges.
                          ____________

PER CURIAM.
       David Holiday appeals the district court’s1 order committing him under 18
U.S.C. § 4245, which provides for hospitalization and treatment of an imprisoned
person suffering from a mental disease or defect, until he no longer needs treatment
or his prison sentence expires, whichever occurs first. Upon careful review of the
record--including the psychological evaluations of mental health professionals where
Holiday is presently confined for treatment, and of defense counsel’s independent
psychological examiner--we conclude the district court’s section 4245 finding was
supported by a preponderance of the evidence, and was not clearly erroneous. See
18 U.S.C. § 4245(d); United States v. Bean, 373 F.3d 877, 879 (8th Cir. 2004)
(standard of review). We also conclude that Holiday’s pro se arguments offer no
basis for relief.

      The judgment of the district court is affirmed, and counsel’s motion to
withdraw is granted.
                     ______________________________
