On 18 January 2017, the applicant ’ s representative was requested to provide a duly completed power of attorney. The request remained unanswered. On 11 July 2017, a letter was sent by registered post to the applicant and a copy by email to the applicant ’ s representative, in which the applicant was requested to provide information about the domestic proceedings . His 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 letter was delivered on 29 July 2017. However, no response has been received from either the applicant or his representative.

THE LAW

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.
