   MEMORANDUM

Ahadi Abu-al Muhammad, a.k.a Onofre Tommy Serrano, appeals pro se from the district court’s judgment dismissing his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action alleging various claims stemming from his arrest and detainment. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We review de novo. Resnick v. Hayes, 213 F.3d 443, 447 (9th Cir. 2000) (dismissal under 28 U.S.C. § 1915A); Barren v. Harrington, 152 F.3d 1193, 1194 (9th Cir. 1998) (order) (dismissal under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2)). We reverse and remand.

Dismissal of Muhammad’s action was premature because the allegations that Muhammad was stopped and arrested based on Muhammad’s race, liberally construed, are “sufficient to warrant ordering [defendants] to file an answer.” Wilhelm v. Rotman, 680 F.3d 1113, 1116 (9th Cir. 2012). We reverse the judgment and remand for further proceedings.

REVERSED and REMANDED.
