UNITED STATES ATTORNEY GENERAL

Defendant-Appellee

Appeal from the United States District Court

for the Western District of Texas

3:10-CV-59

Before DAVIS, SMITH and DENNIS, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

Appellant challenges the dismissal of his pro se petition which the district

court dismissed as frivolous. Flores alleged that: 

Persons residing outside the United States are directing political

candidates known to be executive employees of the federal

government or unregistered lobbyists to unlawfully conduct a

scientific domestic study by using advanced technology with a direct

signal to the satelite [sic] in outer space to calculate a genetic code

or procedure to cause me or my immediate relatives severe pain

equivalent in intensity to the pain accompanieing [sic] serious

physical injury such as organ failure, impairment of bodily functions

or even death. 

* * * * *

The unnecessary and wanton infliction of pain constitutes cruel and

unussual [sic] punishment in violation of the Eighth Amendment.

The district court dismissed the complaint as frivolous because it was

“fanciful, fantastic, delusional and therefore baseless.” Flores repeats these

fanciful statements in his brief to the court. 

We agree completely with the district court’s characterizations of this case

as frivolous and affirm its dismissal.

AFFIRMED.
