Legal Question in Civil Rights Law in New York

Attorney Malpractice

I filed a small claims case against my lawyer and he responded with a Notice of Motion to Dismiss and pursuant to CPLR 2214 (b), answering affidavits to be submitted in 7 days, and an Affidavit in Support. Firstly, how do I go about representing myself and am I legallly responsible to answer before our court date?
