OPINION
Brenda Piekern appeals the district court’s grant of summary judgment to defendants/appellees Pier 1 Imports (U.S.), Inc. and Siegmund Weinstock Family Trust (collectively “the Appellees”). In granting summary judgment, the district court held that the Appellees had no obli gation under Title III of the Americans with Disabilities Act (“ADA”) to build an access ramp to the Pier 1 Imports store (“the Store”) over land owned and operated by the City of Chico. The district court also decided that it need not address allegations of additional ADA violations because Pickern’s pleadings did not provide sufficient notice of those allegations and because Pickern submitted the expert report supporting those allegations after the deadline contained in the court’s scheduling order. We affirm.
