Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in California

Hello, I'm a plaintiff of a small claim. and have got this message from a court. The hearing is happening later this week and I wasn't sure what this means.

"CONTINUED ON COURT'S OWN MOTION. NO APPEARANCES BY PLAINTIFF. NO APPEARANCES BY DEFENDANT."

Does it mean that I shouldn't appear even over a phone call?
