FACTS AND PROCEDURE

The applicant, Ms Lyudmila Andreyevna Stribul , is a Russian national, who was born in 1941 and lives in Neryungri .

As a holder of overdue commodity vouchers, the applicant sued the State and on 11 July 2003 the Neryungri Town Court granted the applicant ’ s claim. Th i s judgment became final and enforceable but the authorities lingered in enforcing them.

The applicant complained under Article 6 of the Convention and Article 1 of Protocol No. 1 to the Convention about non-enforcement of the final dom e stic judgment in her favour .

On 9 March 2003 t he applicant ’ s complaints were communicated to the Government, who submitted a unilateral declaration . The latter was forwarded to the applicant, who was invited to submit her comment s. No reply was received to the Registry ’ s letter.

By letter dated 26 July 2010 , sent by registered post, the applicant was notified that the period allowed for submission of her comments had expired on 7 June 2010 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.

N o response has been received from the applicant , who has not contacted the Court ever since .

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.

Done in English and notified in writing on 7 January 2016 .
