It sounds like nothing happened and the case was postponed. But I was not there and I don't know anything about the case, and you weren't there either. I am always disappointed to hear of lawyers who (allegedly) won't explain the court proceedings to their paying clients.

Re: What does this court stuff mean???

Your brother has an attorney, Mr. *******, who has been practicing in California for 30 years. They have an attorney-client relationship and privilege which does not extend to you under any circumstances. Your brother needs to call Mr. ******* directly to answer his questions.

P.S. I also answered your question on LegalForce.com. I don't think the answer posted yet (the website is having technical difficulties).
