By letter dated 9 June 2016, sent by registered post, the applicant was notified that the period allowed for submission of his observations had expired on 3 May 2016, and that no extension of time had been requested.

However, no response has been received to that letter either.

The Court has not received any correspondence from the applicant since 31 August 2012.

Accordingly, the case should be struck out of the list.

For these reasons, the Court, unanimously,
