FACTS AND PROCEDURE
The applicant, Ms Yelena Valeryevna Prokhorova, was born in 1971.
The applicant’s complaints under Article 6 § 1 of the Convention concerning the lack of public access to court hearings and the lack of public pronouncement of the judgments in her cases were communicated to the Russian Government (“the Government”). They submitted observations on the admissibility and merits. The observations were forwarded to the applicant, who was invited to submit her own observations. No reply was received to the Registry’s letter.
By letter dated 13 January 2020, sent by registered post, the applicant was notified that the period allowed for submission of her observations had expired on 4 November 2019 and that no extension of time had been requested. The applicant’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 received this letter on 30 January 2020. However, no response has been received.
THE LAW

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 5 November 2020.
