Opinion

No. 10-50232 Summary Calendar.

May 20, 2010.

Eric Flores, El Paso, TX, pro se.

Appeal from the United States District Court for the Western District of Texas, 3:10-CV-59.

Before DAVIS, SMITH and DENNIS, Circuit Judges.


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.
