Hubert ROMASZEWSKI
against Poland
The European Court of Human Rights (First Section), sitting on 22 May 2018 as a Committee composed of:
Aleš Pejchal, President,
Krzysztof Wojtyczek,
Jovan Ilievski, judges,
and Renata Degener, Deputy Section Registrar,
Having regard to the above application lodged on 21 August 2015,
Having deliberated, decides as follows:
FACTS AND PROCEDURE
The applicant, Mr Hubert Romaszewski, is a Polish national who was born in 1985 and lives in Chodzież. He was represented before the Court by Mr A. Nowak, a lawyer practising in Chodzież.
The applicant’s complaint concerning the length of his detention on remand was communicated to the Polish Government (“the Government”). The Government were represented by their Agent, Ms J. Chrzanowska, of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
The applicant failed to respond to the last Registry’s letter of 18 January 2018 (sent by registered post and received by the applicant and by his representative on 26 January 2018), reminding him that the period allowed for submission of his observations in reply had expired on 3 November 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 14 June 2018.
