The court has deferred ruling until all the conditions set by the court are fulfilled. This occurs most often when a defendant agrees to plead No Contest or Nolo Contendere The defendant can avoid incarceration and a criminal record by agreeing to take this plea. The defendant is allowed to say he/she was not convicted of a crime. If the defendant fails to comply with the conditions set by the court, the no contest case will be re-opened.
