I think a judge has a calendar for jury trials and for non-jury (judge only) trials so a trial with no jury goes on the non-jury calendar.

It means the case is scheduled on a non-jury docket. In other words the case will be a bench hearing/trial in front of just the judge and the judge renders the decision alone. If needed, sometimes the case is passed to next jury term. Which means it goes to trial in front of a jury.

Some courts are large enough to have judges and/or court rooms to specialize in hearing certain types of matters. Juries trials obviously involve selecting a jury and require a larger court room than a court room that will involve a bench trial.

In your case, it sounds like the court hears non-jury trials on specific days of the week. This type of trial tends to be shorter and the court is probably trying to make the best use of its resources, including available judges and court rooms.
