   OPINION

PER CURIAM.

Donald Jackman appeals the District Court’s order dismissing his civil rights complaint as frivolous. For the following reasons, we will vacate the District Court’s order and remand for further proceedings.

Jackman was indicted on firearms possession charges and pleaded guilty in February 2002. He was sentenced to a 262-month prison term for his crimes. In June 2005, Jackman filed the present action pursuant to Bivens, 42 U.S.C. § 1983, and a host of other federal statutes against some fifty-one defendants, each of whom allegedly played some part in Jackman’s arrest and criminal prosecution. The Magistrate Judge issued a Report and Recommendation, urging dismissal for failure to state a claim upon which relief can be granted, which the District Court adopted. Jackman now appeals.

The District Court dismissed the complaint on the grounds that the claims it contained were barred because Jackman had not first overturned his conviction, as required by Heck v. Humphrey, 512 U.S. 477, 114 S.Ct. 2364, 129 L.Ed.2d 383 (1994). The entirety of the District Court’s analysis consists of the following:

... where a challenge such as the plaintiff makes here might result in a conclusion that could void the underlying conviction, he must first demonstrate that that conviction or sentence has been reversed, expunged or declared invalid. Torres v. McLaughlin, 163 F.3d 169 (3d Cir.1998), cert. denied, 528 U.S. 1079 [120 S.Ct. 797, 145 L.Ed.2d 672] (2000). Clearly, this has not occurred in the instant case.[ ] Accordingly, it is recommended that the complaint be dismissed for failure to state a claim upon which relief may be granted.

Report and Recommendation at 2. Because the Court did not specify the nature of Jackman’s claims and relied solely upon a malicious prosecution case, Torres v. McLaughlin, 163 F.3d 169 (3d Cir.1998), to dispose of the matter, we understand the District Court to have read Jackman’s multiple allegations as a single malicious prosecution claim.

This is problematic. Though not particularly well-plead, Jackman’s 22-page complaint clearly includes allegations of false arrest, illegal search, coercion, and excessive force. This is significant because Heck only bars claims which “seek[] to recover damages for an unconstitutional conviction, imprisonment, or other harm caused by actions whose unlawfulness would render the conviction or sentence unlawful.” Torres, 163 F.3d at 173 (emphasis added). As the Heck Court pointed out, because some claims would not necessarily invalidate a conviction, not all constitutional claims arising from an arrest and prosecution are subject to the rule. See 512 U.S. at 487 & n. 7, 114 S.Ct. 2364. Claims found not to be barred by Heck include unreasonable search and seizure, excessive force, coercion, and often false arrest and false imprisonment. Accordingly, this Court has recently emphasized that Heck requires district courts to make a determination with regard to each claim whether it — if successful — would imply the invalidity of the conviction or sentence. See Gibson v. Superintendent, 411 F.3d 427, 447-49 (3d Cir.2005). There is no indication that the District Court undertook any such analysis here.

Jackman’s appeal could still be dismissed pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2)(B) if the complaint failed to state a claim for other reasons. We accept as true all factual allegations in the complaint, and all reasonable inferences that can be drawn from them. See Ransom v. Marrazzo, 848 F.2d 398, 401 (3d Cir.1988). A pro se complaint may be dismissed for failure to state a claim only “if it appears ‘beyond doubt that the plaintiff can prove no set of facts in support of his claim which would entitle him to relief.’ ” Mil-house v. Carlson, 652 F.2d 371, 374 (3d Cir.1981) (citation omitted). Significantly, this appeal comes to us as the product of the District Court’s screening process, providing only a very slim record, based on which we cannot conclude that Jackman has failed to state a claim.

Accordingly, we will vacate the District Court’s order and remand for further proceedings. 
      
      . We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and exercise plenary review over the District Court's sua sponte dismissal for failure to state a claim pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2)(ii). See Allah v. Seiverling, 229 F.3d 220, 223 (3d Cir.2000).
     
      
      . Heck, 512 U.S. at 487 n. 7, 114 S.Ct. 2364 (because of doctrines like independent source, inevitable discovery, and harmless error, the success of the § 1983 action would not necessarily imply that the underlying conviction was unlawful).
     
      
      . Nelson v. Jashurek, 109 F.3d 142, 145-46 (3d Cir.1997) (where plaintiff alleged officer effectuated a lawful arrest in an unlawful manner, "we do not see why a judgment in [plaintiff’s] favor would throw the validity of his conviction into doubt.”).
     
      
      . Simmons v. O’Brien, 77 F.3d 1093, 1095 (8th Cir.1996).
     
      
      . Compare Montgomery v. De Simone, 159 F.3d 120, 126 n. 5 (3d Cir.1998) ("claims for false arrest and false imprisonment are not the type of claims contemplated by the Court in Heck which necessarily implicate the validity of a conviction or sentence.”), with Gibson v. Superintendent, 411 F.3d 427, 451-52 (3d Cir.2005) (finding Heck rule applies because only evidence supporting conviction was found pursuant to constitutional violation that was subject of plaintiff's § 1983 claim).
