3 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority“While it is true that we ordinarily will not consider issues raised for the first time on appeal, ... we have recognized that in very limited circumstances we may consider such an issue if the error is “plain” and if our refusal to consider such would result in the denial of fundamental justice---Writing for the court in Modave v. Long Island Jewish Medical Center, 501 F.2d 1065 (2[n]d Cir.1974), Judge Friendly explained: [Tjhe “plain error” phrase is found in F.R.Cr.P. 52, not in the civil rules. Except perhaps for errors that could not have been corrected on proper objection, the doctrine applicable in civil cases is the more limited one of “fundamental error,” [citations omitted] — an error so serious and flagrant that it goes to the very integrity of the trial.”
