CHAD A. READLER, Circuit Judge. Timothy Hall participated in a protest in Detroit. As law enforcement broke up the demonstration, a City of Detroit officer tackled and injured Hall. He was later ticketed by a different city officer for disorderly conduct based upon his participation in the rally. Those events resulted in two lawsuits by Hall, one against the City of Detroit and another against city officers, including the one who ticketed Hall. Each suit was based in part on the premise that defendants retaliated against Hall for exercising his First Amendment rights. After consolidating the suits and denying Hall’s request to extend the discovery period, the district court granted summary judgment in favor of the City but denied the ticketing officer’s assertion of qualified immunity.

We agree with the district court in most respects. We affirm the denial of Hall’s motion to adjourn the discovery deadline as well as the grant of summary judgment to the City. As to Hall’s First Amendment claim, however, because the officer is entitled to qualified immunity, we reverse the district court’s decision denying the officer’s motion for summary judgment.
