PER CURIAM

     Carolyn R. Mensah, proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis, filed suit against the
United States Department of Justice National Crime Information Center, seeking to

expunge any derogatory information or criminal record allegedly improperly registered

under her name and the names of her sons. She claimed that, as a result of incorrect

information recorded in the National Crime Information Center, the FBI and other agents

of the government put her and her sons under surveillance, framed them for crimes they

did not commit, and forced them to commit sex acts on Osprey pilots and others. She

also alleged that she and her family members have suffered grievous harm from FBI-

controlled lasers and radio waves. In her complaint, and apparently included by reference

on forms for a petition for writ of habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254 that she

filed at the same time as her complaint, Mensah also contended that her older son, either

as a cat or as a person, has been detained in an undisclosed location by an FBI agent

named O’Malley.

       The District Court dismissed Mensah’s action as frivolous. Mensah appeals.

       We agree with the District Court that Mensah’s claims against the National Crime

Information Center are clearly baseless.1 Denton v. Hernandez, 504 U.S. 25, 32-3 (1992).

Her appeal, therefore, must be dismissed. See 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2)(B)(i) (2005).

   She has waived any claims against an FBI agent named O’Malley by asserting that the
National Crime Information Center was the sole defendant in her District Court suit.
