It will greatly depend on the jurisdiction and the judge. In some cases they may dismiss the case.

I got a ticket for speeding and changing lanes without signaling Can I dispute it because the officer did not catch me with a gun and I remember that I did signal?

Yes--but your chance of winning varies. First, how did the officer know that you were speeding? If he only used a visual observation, then you could attack his judgment, but traffic court is notoriously biased against the defendant. I'm guessing that if the officer did not catch you with a gun, then he did catch you with the radar unit in the vehicle. You can request discovery, and make the prosecution produce the calibration records for the radar or laser unit used (if one was used). As to the unlawful lane change, the officer will testify that he saw you change lanes without signaling. And, again, the judge will likely believe the guy in the badge over you. You can subpoena the officer to appear at the hearing. You have to ask for that at the court, just like discovery. If you properly serve the officer per the instructions the clerk will give you (or state law), and the officer does not appear, then the ticket will be dismissed in its entirety. Please see the link to the NMA below. They have good information for people in your situation. Good luck!

What is the court plea called when an officer doesn't show up at court?

A judge MAY dismiss a case if the arresting officer fails to appear, OR he may choose to 'continue' the case to a new date. If the case is dismissed, the disposition is usually, "Dismissed for Lack of Prosecution." Before that happens the judge will usually try to determine why the officer is not present for a good and reasonable cause (e.g.- is he on assignment - is he ill - etc).

What if both parties fail to show for a civil hearing?

Ordinarily, the case will be dismissed. The onus is upon the Plaintiff to move the case along and meet a burden of proof. If he/she/it does not appear, that cannot be done. Likewise, if the Defendant does not appear, no defense to the action can be asserted. Therefore, the case will be dismissed.
