Opinion:
MEMORANDUM
Glenn C. Henderson appeals pro se from the district court's order dismissing his action against his former union and a union official alleging violations of the federal Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act and various other laws. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We vacate and remand.
The district court sua sponte dismissed the action under the doctrine of res judica-ta before the defendants had been served. It appears that the district court applied the screening requirements of the Prison Litigation Reform Act, 28 U.S.C. § 1915A and 1915(e) (2) (B) (ii), to the complaint. However, the record indicates that Henderson was neither a prisoner nor proceeding in forma pauperis. We therefore vacate and remand for further proceedings.
Henderson shall bear his own costs on appeal.
VACATED and REMANDED.
