The European Court of Human Rights (Second Section), sitting on 10 October 2019 as a Committee composed of:
Ivana Jelić, President,
Arnfinn Bårdsen,
Darian Pavli, judges,
and Liv Tigerstedt, Acting Deputy Section Registrar,
Having regard to the above application lodged on 22 August 2018,
Having deliberated, decides as follows:
FACTS AND PROCEDURE
The applicant, Mr Robertas Nevedomskas, was born in 1989.
The applicant was represented by Mr G.A. Perednis, a lawyer practising in Rykantai.
The applicant’s complaints under Article 3 of the Convention concerning the conditions of his detention at Lukiškės Remand Prison were communicated to the Lithuanian Government (“the Government”), who submitted observations on the admissibility and merits. The observations were forwarded to the applicant, who was invited to submit his own observations. No reply was received to the Registry’s letter.
By letter dated 5 August 2019, sent by registered post, the applicant’s representative was notified that the period allowed for submission of the applicant’s observations had expired on 18 July 2019 and that no extension of time had been requested. The representative’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’s representative received this letter on 13 August 2019. However, no response has been received.
THE LAW
In the light of the foregoing, the Court concludes that the applicant does not wish to pursue the 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 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 31 October 2019.
