DECISION
Application no. 3781/16
Tudor-Florin FRĂTICĂ-DRAGOMIR
against Romania
The European Court of Human Rights (Fourth Section), sitting on 10 April 2018 as a Committee composed of:
Paulo Pinto de Albuquerque, President,
Egidijus Kūris,
Iulia Motoc, judges,
and Andrea Tamietti, Deputy Section Registrar,
Having regard to the above application lodged on 6 January 2016,
Having deliberated, decides as follows:
FACTS AND PROCEDURE
1. The applicant, Mr Tudor-Florin Frătică-Dragomir, is a Romanian national, who was born in 1969 and lives in Geamăna. He was represented before the Court by Mr M. Rafailescu, a lawyer practising in Bucharest.
2. The applicant’s complaints under Article 3 (conditions of detention) and Article 5 § 4 (length of proceedings challenging the pre-trial detention) were communicated to the Romanian Government (“the Government”), who were represented by their Agent, Ms C. Brumar, from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
3. The applicant failed to respond to the last Registry’s letter of 9 February 2017 (received by his representative on 25 February 2017), reminding him that the period allowed for submission of his observations in reply had expired on 4 January 2017 and that no extension of time had been requested. His attention was drawn to Article 37 § 1 (a) of the Convention.
THE LAW
4. 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 3 May 2018.
