A Latin phrase meaning �to be unwilling to prosecute.� A nolle�prosequi is a prosecutor�s formal entry on the record indicating that he or she will no longer prosecute a pending criminal charge against the defendant. A nolle�prosequi acts as a dismissal of the charges, usually without prejudice. In some states, a nolle�prosequi after jeopardy attaches amounts to an acquittal and a bar to prosecution. Generally, a prosecutor can enter a nolle prosequi at any stage after indictment and until the imposition of a sentence. Some states, like Michigan, require that the prosecutor obtain the court�s leave to nolle�prosequi charges. Additionally, in some states, like Arkansas, the prosecutor is required to show good cause in order to obtain the courts leave.
