Anja Seibert-Fohr, judges,

Having regard to the above application lodged on 13 August 2012,
Having deliberated, decides as follows:
FACTS AND PROCEDURE
The applicant, Mr Sergiy Mykolayovych Faranyuk, was born in 1976.
The applicant was represented by Mr O.O. Stakhyeyev, a lawyer practising in Kropyvnytskyy, Ukraine.
The applicant’s complaints under Article 3 of the Convention concerning the inadequate medical treatment in detention were communicated to the Ukrainian Government (“the Government”), who submitted observations on the admissibility and merits. The observations were forwarded to the applicant’s representative for comments. No reply was received to the Registry’s letter.
By letter dated 10 February 2020, sent by registered post, both the applicant and the representative were notified that the period allowed for submission of the applicant’s observations had expired on 22 November 2019 and that no extension of time had been requested. Their 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.
According to the delivery slip, the applicant’s representative received this letter on 18 February 2020. No delivery slip has arrived from the applicant and, to date, no response has been received either from him or his representative.
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 16 July 2020.
