I hired a law firm to represent me in a tax lien debt collector lawsuit over 2 years ago. The case was dismissed and I received a Notice of Dismissal Want of Prosecution notice, on March 26th, 2019. The Plaintiff's lawyer refiled on April 15th, 2019. However, I was not served the papers until November 8, 2019. I am now scheduled to appear in court by January 29th, 2020. The likely outcome is that I will lose the house my disabled son currently lives in, to foreclosure by this company.
Unfortunately, I am no position to afford a lawyer any longer. I am now representing myself in court.
My lawyer had originally requested discovery documents and the Plaintiff's law firm never replied during the two year period of time.
My question:

My question:
- I am running out of time. Any attempt at this point for a request for discovery of documents will not provide sufficient enough time for the Plaintiff's lawyer's to respond. Can I request a Motion for order compelling discovery based on the original requests during the first lawsuit? If so, does anyone have any idea what form I should use and how I should phrase the wording?
- Can I reference the outcome of the original lawsuit and their inability to work with me and my lawyer the first time?
