I commend your bravery. It's never easy to walk into court and defend one's self.
Let me see if I can point out some issues that can be taken to heart for your next go-round':
1) The Judge cannot grant you an administrative ANYTHING as he is a Judicial officer. It is the AGENCY that owes you the determination.
2) Your motion to dismiss needed to be filed at least 10 days before any scheduled appearance. Preferrably, you would file it far before then so you can have a completely separate date exclusively for hearing your motion. With this in place, you cannot be forced to enter a plea, per F.R.Civ.P 12.
3) All is not lost. You can still file your motion to dismiss and get a hearing on that motion prior to your arraignment and still be under the protection of F.R.Civ.P 12. You will then be able to appeal a ruling on that motion through a Writ of Review and request a stay of proceedings pending the ruling on the appeal. I myself haven't gotten passed this part, so i'll let you know what I find out in a few weeks.
