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.
6. In civil cases, a nolle prosequi may be entered as to one of several counts; 7 Wend. 301; or to one of several defendants; 1 Pet. R. 80; as in the case of a joint contract, where one of two defendants pleads infancy, the plaintiff may enter a nolle prosequi, as to him, and proceed against the other.
