JOHNSON, Judge.
In this appeal, we are asked whether a trial court has the authority to dismiss a plaintiff's appeal from an arbitration award in favor of a defendant on the basis of the failure of plaintiff's counsel to appear at the status call of the list for the assignment of a trial date. Because we find that a trial court lacks such authority, we reverse and remand this matter to the trial court for proceedings consistent with this Opinion.
