The court shall prepare and maintain a trial calendar. All cases placed on the trial calendar shall be assigned to any judge available for trial during the week the trial is set unless it is continued for good cause.

When any case that has been set for trial is called for a calendar call, a pre-trial conference, a settlement conference, or trial itself after timely notice to all attorneys or parties not represented by counsel, the court may, on its own motion or on the motion of any party, dismiss such action or hold one party in default, as the case may be, if any of the parties fail to appear.

Any case, whether on the trial calendar or not, may be advanced and set for a pretrial conference or a settlement conference upon order of the court.
