Having regard to the above application lodged on 2 April 2016,

Having deliberated, decides as follows:

FACTS AND PROCEDURE

The applicant, Mr Stanislav Aleksandrovich Aglushevich, is a Russian national, who was born in 1985 and is detained in the town of Dolgoprudnyy, Moscow Region.

The applicant ’ s complaint concerning the belated examination of his statements of appeal against a detention order was communicated to the Russian Government (“the Government”), which 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 remainder of the application was declared inadmissible pursuant to Rule 54 § 3 of the Rules of Court .

The Government ’ s submissions following the communication of the case were sent to the applicant with a request to comment.

By a letter dated 1 March 2017, sent by registered post, the applicant was notified that the period allowed for submission of his comments had expired and that no extension of time had been requested. The applicant ’ s 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 applicant received that letter on 20 March 2017. However, he did not reply.

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 5 October 2017 .
