Georges Ravarani , President, Marko Bošnjak , Péter Paczolay , judges,

and Liv Tigerstedt, Acting Deputy Section Registrar,

Having regard to the above application lodged on 30 March 2016 ,

Having regard to the observations submitted by the respondent Government,

Having deliberated, decides as follows:

FACTS AND PROCEDURE

The applicant, Mr Alexandru Ene is a Romanian national who was born in 1969 and lives in Motru . The Romanian Government (“the Government”) were represented by their Agent, Ms C. Brumar of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

The applicant ’ s complaint under Article 3 of the Convention concerning the inadequate conditions of detention in Craiova Prison from 20 November 2015 and onwards was communicated to the Government.

THE LAW

The applicant complained of inadequate conditions of detention in Craiova Prison from 20 November 2015 and onwards.

The Government indicated that the applicant was detained only in Târgu Jiu Prison from his incarceration on 20 November 2015 until his release on 28 June 2016. They therefore requested the Court to dismiss the application as manifestly ill-founded since the applicant did not relate his grievances to the prison where he was actually detained.

The applicant did not comment on the Government ’ s above allegations.

Taking into account all the material before it, the Court notes that during his detention, from 20 November 2015 to 28 June 2016, the applicant was only detained in Târgu Jiu Prison. He was never accommodated in Craiova Prison during his detention.

In view of the above, the Court finds that his complaint is manifestly ill-founded and must be rejected in accordance with Article 35 §§ 3 and 4 of the Convention.

For these reasons, the Court, unanimously,

Declares the application inadmissible.

Done in English and notified in writing on 18 October 2018 .
