The applicant raised a number of complaints under Articles 6 and 8 of the Convention and Article 1 of Protocol No. 1.

The observations were forwarded to the applicant by registered post, who was invited to submit her own observations. This letter was delivered to the applicant on 29 January 2015.

By letter dated 8 October 2015, sent by registered post, the applicant was notified that the period allowed for submission of her observations had expired on 25 February 2015 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. However, no response has been received.

THE LAW

The Court considers that, in these circumstances, the applicant may be regarded as no longer wishing to pursue her 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.
