Attorney Lebensbaum is correct. The plaintiff has the right under the rules to file a motion to vacate. You also have the right to oppose his motion. This might be a perfect time to hire an attorney to negotiate a really favorable settlement while the plaintiff while you are in a position of power. Call me at 617-357-4898.
