You will need to answer the petition, in court, ASAP. You defense will be that the amount has been paid.
Get proof that the check has cleared. Contact your bank.
A recent case and decision in Federal Court could give you leverage with the LL's lawyer. The tenant attorney in this case is one of our advertisers. If you really want to slap them down as you suggest, just the threat of a case like this might make them back off.

Unless you get a written discontinuance from the LL's attorney, you need to show up. I would even show up no matter what just to make sure.
If in court, it should be on a stipulation form and you should go in front of a judge to have it "so ordered." I would also try to get the stip ordered "with prejudice" so they can't bring it again for the same month's rent.
Just curious, who is this LL's lawyer? (if you don't want to put in on the forum you can send the name by privtge mail).
