Heading: Cole’s Testimony

Text: Norkunas argues that the district court erroneously considered the testimony of Seahorse’s owner David Cole on matters of ADA compliance. Norkunas argues that ADA compliance is technical and therefore requires an expert to testify as to matters of compliance. He appeals the admission of Cole’s testimony regarding the curb ramp by the registration office, the gates on the property, the door thresholds to Room 118, the alterations made to the restrooms in the Lemon Bar, and the parking space in front of the registration office. Reviewing the record and testimony appealed, we find that Cole’s testimony was limited to facts within his personal knowledge, as permitted by the Rules of Evidence.4 See FED. R. EVID. 602. The district court therefore did not commit error in admitting this testimony.
