Erik Møse, President, Yonko Grozev, Gabriele Kucsko-Stadlmayer, judges,

and Anne-Marie Dougin, Acting Deputy Section Registrar ,

Having regard to the above application lodged on 14 August 2009,

Having deliberated, decides as follows:

FACTS AND PROCEDURE

The applicant, Mr Ivan Oleksiyovych Sevryukov , is a Ukrainian national, who was born in 1974 and lives in Kherson.

The applicant ’ s complaints under Articles 3, 5 §§ 1 (c) and 3, and 6 § 1 of the Convention were communicated to the Ukrainian Government (“the Government”), who were represented, most recently, by their Agent, Mr I. Lishchyna , of the Ministry of Justice.

The Government submitted their observations on the admissibility and merits. The observations were forwarded to the applicant, who was invited to submit his observations in reply. No answer was received.

By letter dated 18 July 2017 , sent by registered post, the applicant was notified that the period allowed for submission of his observations had expired on 13 June 2014 and that no extension of time had been requested. His attention was drawn to Article 37 § 1 (a) of the Convention, which provides that the Court may strike a case out of its list of cases where the circumstances lead to the conclusion that the applicant does not intend to pursue the application.

The letter was delivered on 31 July 2017. However, no response has been received.

THE LAW

The Court considers that, in these circumstances, the applicant may be regarded as no longer wishing to pursue his 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 25 January 2018 .
