From a Colombian Court document:
Mediante providencias del 22 de abril y 20 de mayo de 2009, la Sala no ordenó la práctica de las pruebas solicitadas por la defensa ni consideró necesario decretar de oficio.
I'd love to have one of you intelligent nice folks explain to me what this sentence means. Thanks.

sua sponte
"to act sua sponte"
Explanation courtesy of Wikipedia:
In law, the term sua sponte (Latin "on its own will or motion.") means to act spontaneously without prompting from another party. The term is usually applied to actions by a judge taken without a prior motion or request from the parties. The plural form nostra sponte is sometimes used when the action is taken by a multi-member court, such as an appellate court, rather than a single judge.

But, I think in this case it is what I now indicate. Sorry.
