Probably not. You might be able to have the trial rescheduled, but you must act quickly. You may want to consult Legal Aid.

Likely not dismissable, but if the judgment was entered due to your failure to appear it could be set aside.

If you can prove that he did it on purpose, you might have something. It's more likely that it was inadvertent. As the other attorneys have said, you might be able to use that as grounds to set aside default or reschedule the matter.
