On April 8, 2019, defendant Nationstar Mortgage submitted a one-sided letter outlining a

discovery dispute and requesting leave to file a motion to compel. Dkt. No. 51. No statement

representation that he would provide amended discovery responses by March 19, 2019. I will 

consider sanctions as necessary, and whether it is appropriate to adjust the case schedule or take
