The European Court of Human Rights (Fourth Section), sitting on 22 November 2016 as a Committee composed of:

Paulo Pinto de Albuquerque, President, Iulia Motoc, Marko Bošnjak, judges,

and Andrea Tamietti, Deputy Section Registrar ,

Having regard to the above application lodged on 10 August 2010,

Having deliberated, decides as follows:

FACTS, PROCEDURE AND LAW

1. The applicant, Mr Gyorgy Nyerlucz, is a Hungarian national, who was born in 1981 and lives in Szigetszentmiklo. He was represented before the Court by Mr I.P. Gerenyi, a lawyer practising in Satu-Mare.

2. The applicant ’ s complaint about the alleged unlawful secret recording by State Agents of his conversations with his co-accused during his pre-trial detention (Article 8 of the Convention) was communicated to the Romanian Government, who were represented by their Agent, Ms C. Brumar, from the Romanian Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

3. The applicant failed to respond to the last registry ’ s letter of 30 March 2016 (received by his representative on 11 April 2016), reminding him that the period allowed for submission of his observations in reply had expired on 17 March 2016 and that no extension of time had been requested. His attention was drawn to Article 37 § 1 (a) of the Convention.

4. 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 15 December 2016 .
