Is there any case law where a pro se litigant abandons his additional claims on appeal?
MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Goonewardena v. N.Y. State Workers' Comp. Bd., 17-2234 (2nd Cir. 2019):
1. Goonewardena does not challenge on appeal the district court's dismissal of his additional claims on the defendants' motions to dismiss and for summary judgment. Nor does he address the district court's disposition of his retaliation claims following trial. These claims are thus abandoned. See LoSacco v. City of Middletown, 71 F.3d 88, 93 (2d Cir. 1995) (pro se litigant abandons issue by failing to address it in his appellate brief).
