It's not a good thing that's for sure. It means you didn't get the case set for trial or continued beyond December 31, 2009 and it was on file for a sufficient length of time that under Rule 1.944 it was automatically dismissed. You should immediately file under the rule asking for it to be reinstated. I don't have the rule with me so I can't tell you how much time you have to file for reinstatement but there is a time limit.
