FIRST SECTION
DECISION
Application no. 46049/14
Maksim POPOV
against Armenia
The European Court of Human Rights (First Section), sitting on 6 November 2018 as a Committee composed of:
Ksenija Turković, President,
Armen Harutyunyan,
Pauliine Koskelo, judges,
and Abel Campos, Section Registrar,
Having regard to the above application lodged on 13 June 2014,
Having deliberated, decides as follows:
FACTS AND PROCEDURE
The applicant, Mr Maksim Popov, is a Russian national, who was born in 1992 and lives in Yerevan. He was represented before the Court by Ms G. Khachatryan, a lawyer practising in Yerevan.
The applicant’s complaints under Article 5 §§ 1 and 5 of the Convention were communicated to the Armenian Government (“the Government”), who were represented by their Agent, Mr G. Kostanyan, Representative of the Republic of Armenia to the European Court of Human Rights.
The applicant failed to respond to the last Registry’s letter of 10 November 2017, reminding him that the period allowed for submission of his observations in reply had expired on 21 August 2017 and that no extension of time had been requested. His attention was drawn to Article 37 § 1 (a) of the Convention.
THE LAW
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 29 November 2018.
