FACTS AND PROCEDURE

The applicant, Ms Tatyana Yuryevna Chernova, was born in 1980.

She was represented before the Court by Ms V. Chukhray, a lawyer practising in Yakutsk.

The applicant ’ s complaints under Article 5 § 3 of the Convention concerning the excessive length of pre-trial detention were communicated to the Russian Government (“the Government”) , who submitted observations on the admissibility and merits.

By letters dated 4 November 2013, sent by registered post to the applicant and her representative, they were notified that the period allowed for submission of the applicant ’ s observations had expired on 7 June 2013 and that no extension of time had been requested. Their 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 applicant and her representative received these letters on 11 and 17 December 2013, respectively. However, no response has been received.

THE LAW

In the light of the foregoing, t he Court concludes that the applicant may be regarded as no longer wishing to pursue the application (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 the Protocols thereto which require the continued examination of the application.

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.

Done in English and notified in writing on 20 December 2016 .
