You could file to vacate any judgment that might have occurred at the hearing you missed - chances are, though, you won't get the judgment vacated.
The court/judge files a scheduling order sometime within the beginning phase of a case - sometimes the court/judge might also amend that scheduling order at some point. Either way, it is the responsibility of the attorneys or the parties (if they don't have counsel) to calendar those dates.
