A more thorough explanation:

Definition: No evidence means that there is not enough proof to support a claim or argument. It refers to the lack of legally sufficient evidence that a reasonable person could use to make a decision.

For example, if someone is accused of a crime, but there is no evidence to prove that they committed the crime, then there is no evidence against them. Similarly, if a person is making a claim in a court case, but they cannot provide any evidence to support their claim, then there is no evidence to back up their argument.

Under the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, a party can request a judgment as a matter of law if the other party has not provided enough evidence to prove their case. This is called a no-evidence motion, but it does not mean that there is literally no evidence. It means that the evidence presented is not sufficient to support the claim.

For instance, if a person is suing their employer for discrimination, but they cannot provide any evidence that they were treated unfairly, then the employer may file a no-evidence motion to have the case dismissed.
