UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS
FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT
No. 11-7728
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,
Petitioner – Appellee,
v.
HERBERT OVERTON,
Respondent - Appellant.
Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern
District of North Carolina, at Raleigh. W. Earl Britt, Senior
District Judge. (5:11-hc-02183-BR)
Submitted: August 21, 2012 Decided: August 23, 2012
Before WILKINSON, DUNCAN, and THACKER, Circuit Judges.
Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.
Stacey A. Phipps, STACY A. PHIPPS, Raleigh, North Carolina, for
Appellant. Thomas G. Walker, United States Attorney, Jennifer P.
May-Parker, David T. Huband, Assistant United States Attorneys,
Raleigh, North Carolina, for Appellee.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:
Herbert Overton appeals the district court’s order
committing him to the custody of the Attorney General under 18
U.S.C. § 4246 (2006). Overton asserts that the district court
erred in concluding that he posed a substantial risk of danger
to others as a result of his mental disorder. Finding no error,
we affirm.
After a hearing, the district court found by clear and
convincing evidence that Overton “is presently suffering from a
mental disease or defect as a result of which his release would
create a substantial risk of bodily injury to another person or
serious damage to property of another.” 18 U.S.C. § 4246(d).
Our review of the record leads us to conclude that the district
court did not clearly err in finding that Overton met this
standard. United States v. LeClair,
338 F.3d 882, 885 (8th Cir.
2003) (stating standard of review); see United States v.
Robinson,
404 F.3d 850, 856 (4th Cir. 2005); see also United
States v. Harvey,
532 F.3d 326, 336-37 (4th Cir. 2008) (stating
that a finding is clearly erroneous “when, although there is
evidence to support it, the reviewing court on the entire
evidence is left with the definite and firm conviction that a
mistake has been committed”) (internal quotation marks and
citation omitted).

Accordingly, we affirm the order of the district
court. We dispense with oral argument because the facts and
legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials
before the court and argument would not aid the decisional
process.
AFFIRMED
