against Russia
The European Court of Human Rights (Third Section), sitting on 13 September 2018 as a Committee composed of:
Alena Poláčková, President,
Dmitry Dedov,
Jolien Schukking, judges,
and Liv Tigerstedt, Acting Deputy Section Registrar,
Having regard to the above application lodged on 10 March 2015,
Having deliberated, decides as follows:
FACTS AND PROCEDURE
The applicant, Mr Murad Khasyanovich Lukmanov, was born in 1974.
He was represented before the Court by Mr I. Vlasov, residing in Moscow.
The applicant’s complaints under Articles 3 and 13 of the Convention concerning the conditions of detention of disabled inmates and the lack of any effective remedy in domestic law were communicated to the Russian Government (“the Government”), who submitted observations on the admissibility and merits.
By letters dated 28 July 2017 and 6 February 2018, sent by registered post, the applicant’s representative was notified that the period allowed for submission of his observations had expired and that no extension of time had been requested. His 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. However, no response has followed.
THE LAW
In the light of the foregoing, the Court concludes that the applicant may be regarded as no longer wishing to pursue the application (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 the Protocols thereto which require the continued 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 4 October 2018.
