The dismissal of criminal charges takes place by way of a motion from the prosecution called, ânolle prosequi.â. A motion to nolle pros a case is a Latin term meaning roughly, âno more prosecution.â When the prosecution decides to drop charges, it will make a motion to nolle prosequi the charges.
A âSernaâ motion is a motion to dismiss the case based on prosecutorial delay, depriving the defendant of his or her Sixth Amendment right to a speedy trial. Such a motion often is brought when a citation or arrest happens several years before the client is arrested on a bench warrant. A motion to suppress under Penal Code Â§ 1538.5 is a request that the judge order certain evidence inadmissible for some reason, often an illegal search and seizure.
