nolo contendere (no deseo litigar)

Se me ocurre que puede referir a esto.
Nolo contendere:(S/Black's): I will not contest it. The name of a plea in a criminal action, having the same legal effect as a plea of guilty, so far as regards all proceedings on the indictment, and on which the defendant may be sentenced.
Plea of nolo contendere: one which has the same effect as a "plea of guilty" in so far as regards the proceedings on the indictment, and it is a confession only for the purposes of the criminal prosecution and does not bind the defendant in a civil suit for the same wrong.
S/AlcarazVaró-Hughes: nolo contendere: "no deseo litigar", es una de las 3 respuestas que puede dar al tribunal el imputado/acusado, siendo las otras 2: guilty or not guilty. La respuesta de nolo contendere supone una admisión de culpabilidad, la cual no se puede utilizar contra el acusado en una demanda civil por los mismos actos.
Espero haber sido de ayuda, suerte!!

Also known as simply "nolo". The Latin phrase meaning "I do not wish to contend". Synonymous with guilty. However, this plea of guilty holds true only for a criminal action and cannot be used as an admission of guilt in a civil suit for the same offense. Consent of the district attorney and approval of the court are required to plead nolo contendere.

A plea of no contest. In many jurisdictions, it is an expression that the matter will not be contested, but without an admission of guilt. In other jurisdictions, it is an admission of the charges and is equivalent to a guilty plea.
