Legal Question in Business Law in Georgia

I filled for dispossessory and listed unpaid rent, renters answer to the magistratefilling was a claim for $25000 for suffering. The court sent it to State Court and my dispossessory will not be heard at the court date I was given. What can I do, since this could take a long time and the state court may not be able to grant possesion?
