Having regard to the above application lodged on 6 June 2005,
Having deliberated, decides as follows:
THE FACTS
The applicant, Mr Andrey Aleksandrovich Vorobyev, is a Russian national who was born in 1977 and lives in Nikologory in the Vladimir Region. The Russian Government (“the Government”) were represented by Mr G. Matyushkin, Representative of the Russian Federation at the European Court of Human Rights.
The applicant complained under Article 3 of the Convention about inadequate conditions of his pre-trial detention. He also claimed that the criminal proceedings against him had been excessively long and unfair.
The applicant’s complaints under Article 3 were communicated to the Government, who submitted their observations on the admissibility and merits. The observations were forwarded to the applicant, who was invited to submit his own observations by 25 November 2010. No reply was received within the time-limit fixed.
By a letter dated 2 February 2011 sent by registered mail, the applicant was notified that the period allowed for submission of his observations had expired on 25 November 2010 and that no extension of time had been requested. His attention was drawn to Article 37 § 1 (a) of the Convention, which provides that the Court may strike a case 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 17 February 2011. However, no response has been received.
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.
