Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in California

Hello, I am involved in a pending lawsuite against me for a credit card debt. I have done all the necessary actions required since the case was started. I filed an answer to the courts, etc. The judge ordered the plaintiff and my self to appear at a mediaton to resolve this matter. I am "IN PRO PER" I attended the mediation, but the plaintiff did not show up. The judge then hit them with sanctions for not showing up to the mediation in good faith in the amount of 100.00. the judge then ordered a second mediation. The plaintiff did not show up to the second court appointed mediation, but appeared "TELEPHONICALLY" over the phone. I stated to the judge what happened at the mediation , and he ordered a HEARING RE: OSC RE: SANCTIONS (PLTF) & STATUS CONFERENCE to determin possible sanctions against plaintiff. The judge then advised this:PREDISPOSITION HEARING HELD

COURT ADVISES PLAINTIFFS COUNSEL TO SUBMIT A DECLARATION RE; GOOD FAITH MEDIATION FROM THE

MEDIATOR AND COUNSEL MAY ALSO SUBMIT A DECLARATION. What does this mean? And what should I expect? I would sincerely appreciate any input from any lawyer that could offer me some advice. I thank you from the bottom of my heart. Jamie

It means the court wants a declaration showing that Plaintiff acted in good faith in mediation. It also means you are allowed to provide a declaration regarding the mediation as well.
