The European Court of Human Rights (Third Section), sitting on 26 June 2018 as a Committee composed of:

Alena Poláčková , President, Dmitry Dedov , Jolien Schukking , judges,

and Fatoş Aracı , Deputy Section Registrar ,

Having regard to the above application lodged on 15 January 2015,

Having deliberated, decides as follows:

FACTS AND PROCEDURE

The applicant, Ms Marina Eduardovna Roshchupkina , is a Russian national, who was born in 1966 and is serving her prison sentence in a correctional colony in the Perm Region. She was represented before the Court by Mr V. Pavlov, a lawyer practising in St Petersburg.

The applicant ’ s complaints under Article 5 §§ 3 and 4 were communicated to the Russian Government (“the Government”), who were represented by Mr M. Galperin , the Representative of the Russian Federation to the European Court of Human Rights.

The applicant failed to respond to the most recent letter sent by the Court to her lawyer on 29 January 2018 (and returned to the Court as unclaimed), in which it observed that the period allowed for submission of her observations had expired on 20 November 2017 and that no extension of the time-limit had been requested. The applicant ’ s attention was drawn to Article 37 § 1 (a) of the Convention. No response followed.

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 19 July 2018 .
