Helen Keller, President, Pere Pastor Vilanova , María Elósegui , judges,

and Stephen Phillips , Section Registrar ,

Having regard to the above application lodged on 16 March 2010,

Having deliberated, decides as follows:

FACTS AND PROCEDURE

The applicant, Ms Larisa Yevgenyevna Alabina , is a Russian national, who was born in 1955 and lived in Tula.

The Russian Government (“the Government”) were represented initially by Mr G. Matyushkin , the Representative of the Russian Federation to the European Court of Human Rights, and then by his successor in that office, Mr M. Galperin .

The applicant ’ s complaint – that the judgment in her civil case was not pronounced publicly as required by Article 6 § 1 of the Convention – was communicated to the Government, who submitted their observations. In a letter of 10 November 2017 the Registry invited the applicant to submit her observations in reply. The letter was returned to the Registry as the applicant no longer resided at her address. In a letter of 8 February 2018, sent by registered post, the Registry reminded the applicant that the period allowed for submission of her observations had expired on 12 January 2018 and that no extension of time had been requested. Her attention was drawn to Article 37 § 1 (a) of the Convention. No correspondence has been received from the applicant.

THE LAW

The Court considers that, in these circumstances, the applicant may be regarded as no longer wishing to pursue her application, within the meaning of 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 its Protocols which require the continued examination of the case.

In view of the above, it is appropriate to strike the case 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 4 October 2018 .
