If it was just a motion filed by you that you did not attend, then the most likely result is that the court simply took no action on the motion. You should be able to file it again, but you should be aware that there are only a few circumstances where they can allow community service to reduce amounts owed.

In all likelihood your motion was denied and you aren't in any trouble for not showing up. You could try to reschedule another hearing.
