   MEMORANDUM

Thomas Stewart, Jr., an Arizona state prisoner, appeals pro se from the district court’s judgment dismissing his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action for failure to pay the filing fee after denying Stewart’s motion to proceed in forma pauperis (“IFP”) because he had three strikes under the Prison Litigation Reform Act. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We review de novo a dismissal under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(g). Andrews v. King, 398 F.3d 1113, 1118 n.6 (9th Cir. 2005). As required by intervening authority, we reverse and remand.

The district court denied Stewart’s IFP application and dismissed the action without prejudice on the basis that Stewart had filed at least three prior actions in federal court that were dismissed for being frivolous or malicious, or for failing to state a claim, and that he did not establish that he was in imminent danger of serious physical harm. See 28 U.S.C. § 1915(g). One of the prior dismissals relied on by the court as a strike, Stewart v. Phoenix Police Department, No. 2:03-cv-02549-EHC-LOA (D. Ariz. May 26, 2014), was dismissed as barred by Heck v. Humphrey, 512 U.S. 477, 114 S.Ct. 2364, 129 L.Ed.2d 383 (1994). However, the district court’s dismissal in this action occurred prior to this court’s decision in Washington v. Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department, 833 F.3d 1048, 1056-57 (9th Cir. 2016), which concluded that Hecfc-barred dismissals do not count as strikes where at least part of the action sounds in habeas and injunctive relief is sought. We conclude that No. 2:03-cv-02549-EHC-LOA is not a strike because Stewart sought in-junctive relief in that action so at least part of the action sounded in habeas. We reverse the judgment and remand for further proceedings consistent with this disposition.

REVERSED and REMANDED.
