Rudy Giuliani is on the verge of losing yet another legal battle and is pleading with a federal judge in Manhattan not to make it so.

Late last year, while the former New York City mayor was beset by cascading troubles in the ongoing defamation case — which led to a since-aborted effort to declare bankruptcy — brought by two former Georgia election workers, a little-noticed and entirely separate defamation case cleared significant hurdles in the court system.

The case attained a level of stealth so great that Giuliani failed to respond to two key deadlines. The judge overseeing the matter has directed the plaintiff to file for a default judgment.

Giuliani, in turn, protested that he was simply not aware of those deadlines — and other important events in the lawsuit — because he “had not been checking the email address assigned to this case.”
