I found this website which gives a basic overview of the California court system. Casey's court developments would likely take place at the Superior Court of Sacramento.
If you scroll down to the part that says "How a Case Moves Through the California Court System", you will notice that small claims cases are generally those civil cases where the plantiff is suing for $5,000 or less. Since US Bank is suing Casey above that amount, Casey Serin can be represented by an attorney in court.
In his infinite wisdom, it wouldn't be the most surprising development if Casey represented himself with the "itsallgood" and/or the "It's a gray area" defenses. If those don't work, the "NO DEAL!!" defense may suffice.
On TV (yay TV judges) I commonly see civil cases deferred while a related criminal case is still pending. In this case the criminal charges haven't even been filed yet, and I don't know that they'd be relavent to this claim anyhow.

I am curious as to why the suit is for such a small amount. Forget the mortgage stuff, that has probably been written off. My understanding was that the able buyer credit line was for something like $100K, and surely they aren't going to settle for 5 cents on the dollar? Or is there something else going on?
