Legal Question in Bankruptcy in Nevada

Lawsuit dismissed by bankruptcy court

My attorney is frantic for me to sign a document saying I acknowledge the bankruptcy courts dismissal of my case. I don't understand why I have to sign anything if my case is being dismissed. I don't agree with the dismissal and the company is still doing busines.. The case never made it to court. It seems very suspicious that he needs my signature now and only notified me a few days before the hearing. What can be up?
