What is the test for cause for default in a personal injury case?

MultiRegion, United States of America

The following excerpt is from Rajaratnam v. United States, No. 17-1405-pr (L), No. 17-1411-pr (CON) (2nd Cir. 2018):

1. Before the district court, Rajaratnam argued cause for his default based on ineffective assistance of counsel, but he does not invoke that exception on appeal. We therefore deem his cause-related argument to be abandoned. See LoSacco v. City of Middletown, 71 F.3d 88, 92-93 (2d Cir. 1995).
