I would file a motion to dismiss the case. If the prosecution has deprived the accused of his right to a speedy trial, the charges must be dismissed. Four continuances by the prosecution seems like too many to ensure the accused a speedy trial. I suggest you talk with a criminal defense attorney ASAP (if you are not already represented) , as you will need a good lawyer on your side to get the charges dropped or a speedy trial.
It depends on how the rulings went at the suppression hearing.
A suppression hearing is an opportunity to have a judge look at the evidence against you and determine whether it is allowed at trial. It's not something you want to bank on unless the police violated your rights.
Adjournment in Contemplation of Dismissal (ACD) means that the court has adjourned from hearing the case in consideration of a dismissal of charges. This typically indicates that the charges pressed against the defendant are soon to be dismissed as a motion for dismissal is being granted.
Contact the court and ask for a POSTPONEMENT, giving the reason. It will probably be granted and they will re-schedule the date. If you don't do this, and simply fail to show up, the complaint will be dismissed for "want of prosecution."

Pretrial is the period after arraignment but before a trial.During a pre-trial hearing any motions (evidence suppression, subpoenas, and even dismissal) that your attorney or the prosecution may have will be heard or scheduled for a motion hearing. In pre-trial the prosecution also has the authority to work out a plea agreement between the person and the prosecuting jurisdiction (local, county, state, etc). The defendant also has the right to change their plea (as is the norm with plea deals).Also, pretrials are a time for the judge to get information as to case law, evidence, witnesses. During this phase of justice, witnesses come forth and testify before the Judge.If the pre-trial yields no successful agreements between the defense and prosecution, a criminal trial or bench trial will take place.
