Generally a continuance and not a drop is ordered. Did you ask that the case simply be continued rather than dropped? If it has been dropped you can get it reset for pre-trial and trial dates.

Yes, you can file for a trial date to get him moving... Have your atty prepare a Stipulated Judgment incluiding the terms you believe are agreed upon by both of you. Send him a letter asking that he sign it or PUT IN WRITING what changes he would make. Bring your letter and the Stipulated Judgment to court, and ask for sanctions under FC 271 for not negotiating with you, and for unreasonably delaying the process.
