Nationstar Mortgage Pursues RFB Properties in Federal Civil Action

A scheduling order dropped on April 20, 2026, in Nationstar Mortgage's suit against RFB Properties, LLC — docket 20-cv-02697 — signaling the court is pushing this case toward a resolution date. The order is the most recent docket activity, and it sets the procedural clock running for whatever remains to be litigated.

Nationstar, a large residential mortgage servicer, is the plaintiff. RFB Properties is the named defendant. The core dispute has not been publicly detailed in the available record, but mortgage-servicer suits against property LLCs typically turn on unpaid loan balances, foreclosure rights, or competing claims to real property.

The case has been on the docket since 2020, which means it has been active for roughly six years without a final resolution.

No judge is currently assigned on the public record, which is unusual for a case this old. That gap may reflect a reassignment, a magistrate referral, or a data lag — but it is worth watching. Without a named judge, predicting the pace of any remaining pretrial deadlines is harder than it should be.

The scheduling order at entry 94 suggests the parties have been through significant pretrial motion practice. A docket entry in the nineties on a six-year-old case points to a history of discovery disputes, dispositive motions, or both.

The April 2026 order likely sets deadlines for trial-readiness filings, final pretrial conferences, or summary judgment briefing — but the full text of the order is not in the available record.

The case is listed as active, so no settlement or dismissal has been filed. That means at least one live claim is still before the court. Whether Nationstar is pressing a deficiency judgment, a quiet title claim, or something else will determine how much litigation remains.
