I've made the first two payments and now I just received in the mail a NOTICE OF MOTION AND MOTION FOR ORDER SETTING ASIDE AND VACATING DISMISSAL, POINTS AND AUTHORITIES IN SUPPORT OF MOTION, Below is the case summary: Histories (Dates listed in descending order) 07/26/2017 NOTICE OF MOTION FOR ORDER SETTING ASIDE AND VACATING DISMISSAL , DECLARATION, AND POINTS AND AUTHORITIES IN SUPPORT THEREOF FILED.

Plaintiff's counsel did not appear at the OSC because of a calendaring error." Did they screw up? Did I screw up? Did we both screw up??? Do I need to now go back to court AGAIN on Sept 21st? What would the suggested course of action be for me? Any advice is appreciated.
