The applicant, Ms Gülcan Bozkurt Korkmaz , was born in 1964.

She was represented before the Court by Mr A. Dinsever , a lawyer practising in Mersin.

The applicant ’ s complaints under Article 6 of the Convention concerning her lack of access to a court for judicial review of her dismissal were communicated to the Turkish Government (“the Government”) , who submitted observations on the admissibility and merits.

By letter dated 4 September 2018, sent by registered post, the applicant representative ’ s was notified that the period allowed for submission of the applicant ’ s observations had expired on 20 June 2018 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 ’ s representative received this letter on 10 September 2018. However, no response has been received.

THE LAW

In the light of the foregoing, t he Court concludes that the applicant may be regarded as no longer wishing to pursue the application (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 the Protocols thereto which require the continued 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 17 January 2019 .
