Nolo contendere, or no contest means that you are not admitting guilt or pleading innocents.........But instead you are not going to fight the charges in any way and will accept your fate with out a fight.
This is a plea that is used to resolve a criminal or civil litigation so as not to later be subject to legal liability to the charge.
It is generally meant that you are not in the position to offer an evidence to clear you and that you are just clearing the case with no dispute.

Pleading no contest or otherwise known as "Nolo Contende" means you're pleading guilty !

It means that you believe they have enough evidence to convict you in a trial, but you don't want to plead guilty or go to trial.
You are convicted of the crime, but don't have to plead guilty or go to trial. Sentence is then handed down.

You are refusing to plead guilty, but also refusing to fight the charges. It means you are technically convicted of the crime, but you are not admitting guilt, you are simply allowing them to sentence you for it.

It is the SAME as pleading GUILTY.

It means that you are going to accept all charges.. It also means they can only charge you with those crimes.. they can not dig further to find more evidence.. other words "case close"..

for all legal intents and purposes it's a passive guilty plea
