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 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.
