If the judge dismisses the case, the plaintiff is responsible for the court costs.
The plaintiff does when they file a claim. These charges can be recovered if the plaintiff wins his case.
The plaintiff or petitioner.
When a plaintiff sues the federal government for monetary damages the Court of Federal Claims hears the case.
The wording of the question is too cryptic - however - it appears that the Plaintiffs claim was dismissed due to the plaintiff's lack of prosecution (e.g.: The plaintiff failed to appear in court to press their case -or- the plaintiff withdrew their case- etc).

I am the Plaintiff a Pro Se who submitted Production of Documents and Interrogratory's to the Defendants in a Employment Race Discrimination case. The Defendants refuse to comply with the Court and release to the Plaintiff the Interrogratorys and Production of Documents.

In a civil case, a judgment can be granted in part or in whole. If a plaintiff sues for $100, and the court finds in favor of the plaintiff, but does not believe the plaintiff is indebted the full $100, the court can grant judgment in part to the plaintiff of, say, $60.
The Court of Federal Claims
This means that the plaintiff's request to the court has been denied, and they will be responsible for paying the legal costs associated with the case. The plaintiff has not succeeded in their legal action.
It depends on what kind of case it is, why the plaintiff didn't show up, and what kind of court appearance you are there for.Added: By the use of the term "plaintiff" it must be assumed that the question refers to a civil case, not a criminal one. If the plaintiff fails to appear in court for THEIR case it is possible (in fact, likely) that the other party will request a motion for dismissal/acquital of the charges for 'want of prosecution,' and/or a directed verdict of not guilty/liable.
