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 satélite [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 accompanie-ing [sic] serious physical injury such as organ failure, impairment of bodily functions or even death.
 

  í¡í % ❖
 

  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.
