Nolo contendere is an alternatively plea allowed in US federal and state laws. The literal meaning is: "I do not wish to contend." It has the same effect as a guilty plea in the particular criminal trial, but may have different consequences in subsequent civil cases and criminal trials. Wikipedia explains it a little more.
nolo I do not wish (the verb is nolle not to wish, to be unwilling)
