It sounds like a notation on a case jacket . . .

Without a context in which to place it, it could mean that the case is held in suspense while the defense determines what plea the defendant will enter (i.e.: Guilt - No Guilt - Nolo Contendre). It would not signify the final adjudication of the case.

It means that your attorney (or you) has petitioned the court to 'stay' and further prosecution while you consider offering a plea in the charges against you. It is only temporary.
