Between

Appellant

and

 

MR BENNETH NDUBUISI OPARA

(ANONYMITY ORDER NOT MADE)

Respondent

 

DECISION AND REASONS

 

1.              This is an appeal by the Secretary of State against the decision of First-Tier Tribunal Judge Harris who on 4 January 2017 allowed the appeal of Mr Opara on human rights grounds. Permission to appeal was granted and thus the appeal came before me on the above date.

 

The Hearing

 

2.              Ms Ahmed, the Senior Home Office Presenting Officer, told me that it was accepted that the Judge had been entitled to consider the evidence he had considered and sought leave to withdraw the appeal. There was no opposition to that application.

 

3.              Mindful of Rule 17(2) of the Tribunal Procedure (Upper Tribunal) Rules 2008, I accepted withdrawal of the Secretary of State's case. As a result their appeal to the Upper Tribunal is dismissed.
