Having regard to the above application lodged on 2 May 2018,

FACTS AND PROCEDURE
The applicant, Mr Andrey Gennadyevich Susarin, was born in 1981.
The applicant’s complaint under Article 3 of the Convention concerning his confinement in a metal cage before the court during the criminal proceedings against him was communicated to the Russian 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 letters dated 28 May and 12 December 2019, sent by registered post, the applicant was notified that the period allowed for submission of his observations had expired on 8 April 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 the letters on 15 June 2019 and 14 January 2020, respectively. However, no response has been received.
THE LAW
In the light of the foregoing, and in the absence of any special circumstances regarding respect for the rights guaranteed by the Convention and the Protocols thereto, the Court, in accordance with Article 37 § 1 (a) of the Convention, considers that it is no longer justified to continue the 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 30 July 2020.
