and Liv Tigerstedt, Acting Deputy Section Registrar,

Having regard to the above application lodged on 10 July 2012 ,

Having deliberated, decides as follows:

FACTS AND PROCEDURE

The applicant, Mr Yevgeniy Nikolayevich Bazheryan , was born in 1984.

The applicant ’ s complaints under Articles 3, 5 § 3 and 6 of the Convention concerning alleged police ill-treatment, length of pre-trial detention and length of criminal proceedings against the applicant were communicated to the Ukrainian Government (“the Government”) , who submitted observations on the admissibility and merits.

On 12 April 2019 the Registry sent a letter to the applicant requesting him to appoint a representative. No reply was received to this letter.

By letter dated 5 September 2019, sent by registered post, the applicant was notified that the period allowed for the appointment of a representative had expired on 21 June 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.

As appears from the delivery slip, the applicant received this letter on 27 September 2019. 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.
