Having regard to the above application lodged on 4 June 2021,

FACTS AND PROCEDURE
The applicant, Ms Cristina Bracci, was born in 1969.
The applicant’s complaints concerning access to court under Article 6 § 1 of the Convention and discrimination under Article 1 of Protocol No. 12 were communicated to the Government of San Marino (“the Government”), who submitted observations on the admissibility and merits. The observations were forwarded to the applicant, who was invited to submit her own observations. No reply was received to the Registry’s letter.
By letter dated 17 April 2023, sent by registered post, the applicant was notified that the period allowed for submission of her observations had expired on 6 March 2023 and that no extension of time had been requested. The applicant’s attention was drawn to Article 37 § 1 (a) of the Convention, which provides that the Court may strike an application out of its list of cases where the circumstances lead to the conclusion that the applicant does not intend to pursue the application. The applicant received this letter on 28 April 2023. However, no response has followed.
THE LAW
In the light of the foregoing, and in the absence of any special circumstances regarding respect for the rights guaranteed by the Convention and the Protocols thereto, the Court, in accordance with Article 37 § 1 (a) of the Convention, considers that it is no longer justified to continue the examination of the application.
Accordingly, the case should be struck 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 20 July 2023.
