What to do about a re-schedule of my case without notification to me?

I received some traffic infractions on the 28th of last month. The tickets say court was scheduled for the 12th of this month at 3 pm. I showed up but there was no court scheduled. This is a very small town court. The town clerk (wife of the judge) took it upon herself to adjourn the case to the 2nd of last month. Can these be thrown out on a technicality of any kind?

Under the laws of all states in this country a case that is rescheduled in court mist be rescheduled such to the point where all parties and their attorneys involved are given written notice of the new hearing date in a timely fashion. Unfortunately for you, you cannot have your matter thrown out based upon what you have written.
