Marina Olegovna DOLZHENKO
against Ukraine
The European Court of Human Rights (Fifth Section), sitting on 15 February 2024 as a Committee composed of:
Mārtiņš Mits, President,
Kateřina Šimáčková,
Mykola Gnatovskyy, judges,
and Viktoriya Maradudina, Acting Deputy Section Registrar,
Having regard to the above application lodged on 26 September 2010,
Having deliberated, decides as follows:
FACTS AND PROCEDURE
The applicant, Ms Marina Olegovna Dolzhenko, was born in 1996. She lives in Simferopol, Crimea.
The applicant’s complaints under Article 6 § 1 and Article 13 of the Convention concerning the excessive length of civil proceedings and the lack of any effective remedy in domestic law were communicated to the Ukrainian Government (“the Government”).
On 23 August 2023 the Registry sent a letter to the applicant through the Court’s electronic communications service (eComms), requesting certain information essential to the processing of the application. By the same letter, the applicant was notified that the period allowed for submission of the requested information was to expire on 20 September 2023. 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. No reply was received to that letter, and all attempts to reach the applicant by phone were unsuccessful.
THE LAW
The Court has already decided to strike applications out of its list in circumstances similar to the present case (see Semenyutin and Others v. Ukraine (dec.) [Committee], nos. 32776/06 and 8 others, §§ 5-8, 21 October 2021, with further references).
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 14 March 2024.
