against Turkey
The European Court of Human Rights (Second Section), sitting on 6 November 2018 as a Committee composed of:
Ledi Bianku, President,
Jon Fridrik Kjølbro,
Ivana Jelić, judges,
and Hasan Bakırcı, Deputy Section Registrar,
Having regard to the above application lodged on 25 November 2009,
Having deliberated, decides as follows:
FACTS AND PROCEDURE
The applicant, Mr Burak Batı, is a Turkish national, who was born in 1980 and lives in İzmir.
The applicant’s complaints under Article 6 of the Convention were communicated to the Turkish Government (“the Government”), who were represented by their Agent.
The applicant failed to respond to the Registry’s letters of 23 February 2011, 28 November 2011, 21 June 2012 and 27 March 2018. The last letter, which was sent by registered mail, was returned to the Court by the postal services on the ground that the applicant had failed to collect the letter from the post office within the required time-limit.
No information has been received from the applicant since he lodged his application in 2009.
THE LAW
The Court considers that, in these circumstances, the applicant may be regarded as no longer wishing to pursue his application, within the meaning of Article 37 § 1 (a) of the Convention. Furthermore, in accordance with Article 37 § 1 in fine, the Court finds no special circumstances regarding respect for human rights as defined in the Convention and its Protocols which require the continued examination of the case.
In view of the above, it is appropriate to strike the case out of the list.
For these reasons, the Court, unanimously,
Decides to strike the application out of its list of cases.
Done in English and notified in writing on 29 November 2018.
