OPINION
THOMAS, Circuit Judge:
When Robert Norse gave the Santa Cruz City Council a silent Nazi salute, he was ejected and arrested. He sued city *970officials for violating his rights under the First Amendment. On the eve of trial, the district court sua sponte granted judgment against him, holding that the city officials were entitled to qualified immunity. Because the district court failed to provide Norse adequate notice and opportunity to be heard, among other procedural errors, we reverse the judgment of the district court.
