The applicant, Mr Denis Nikolayevich Samyshov, was born in 1983.

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 letter dated 8 October 2014, sent by registered post, the applicant was notified that the period allowed for submission of his observations had expired on 25 August 2014 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 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 received this letter on 5 November 2014. However, no response has been received.

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.
