No. 96-15496.
United States Court of Appeals, Ninth Circuit.
Submitted April 21, 1997.*Decided April 23, 1997.

Before:  BROWNING, THOMPSON, and HAWKINS, Circuit Judges.
MEMORANDUM**
Marc Edward Lee, an Arizona state prisoner, appeals pro se the district court's summary judgment for defendant Detective James Williamson in his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action alleging that Williamson violated his constitutional rights by making deliberately false statements to obtain a search warrant.  We have jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and we vacate and remand.
Before entering summary judgment, a district court must advise pro se prisoner litigants of the requirements of Fed.R.Civ.P. 56.  See Klingele v. Eikenberry, 849 F.2d 409, 411-12 (9th Cir.1988).  Here, a review of the record reveals that the district court failed to given Lee the requisite notice.  See Klingele, 849 F.2d at 411-12.   Accordingly, we vacate the district court's summary judgment and remand with instructions to advise Lee of the requirements of Fed.R.Civ.P. 56.  See id.
VACATED and REMANDED.
