PER CURIAM:

Dave Andrae Taylor, a federal prisoner, filed a complaint pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2006) seeking damages on the ground that Defendants failed to advise him at the time of his arrest in February 1999 of his rights under Article 36 of the Vienna Convention. The district court dismissed the action without prejudice, concluding that Taylor’s action was barred by the holding in Heck v. Humphrey, 512 U.S. 477, 114 S.Ct. 2364, 129 L.Ed.2d 383 (1994). We have reviewed the record and the district court’s order and conclude that pursuant to Sanchez-Llamas v. Oregon, 548 U.S. 331, 126 S.Ct. 2669, 165 L.Ed.2d 557 (2006), the action was not barred by the holding in Heck. Accordingly, we vacate the district court’s order dismissing Taylor’s action without prejudice and remand for further proceedings consistent with this opinion. We deny Taylor’s motion for appointment of counsel and dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional process.

VACATED AND REMANDED.
