Definition of Nolle Prosequi. Nolle Prosequi is a Latin term that means âno longer prosecute.â In Maryland, when the State enters a nolle prosequi, it means that the State is electing not to pursue the case and is dropping the charges. At this point, the case becomes closed.
A Nolle Prosequi stops the case and is an indefinite adjournment not an acquittal. This terminates the proceedings, but it does not operate as a bar or discharge or an acquittal on the merits (so the defendant can be indicted again). The power is not subject to any control by the courts.
