FACTS AND PROCEDURE

The applicant, Ms Tatyana Nikolayevna Anokhina , is a Russian national, who was born in 1971 and lives in Ivanovo .

The Russian Government (“the Government”) were represented by their Agent, Mr G. Matyushkin , Representative of the Russian Federation at the European Court of Human Rights.

The applicant complained under Article 5 §§ 1 and 5 of the Convention about allegedly unlawful detention and inadequate compensation for it .

The applicant ’ s complaints were communicated to the Government, who submitted their observations on the admissibility and merits. The observations were forwarded to the applicant, who was invited to submit her own observations. No reply was received to the Registry ’ s letter.

By letter dated 8 September 2014, sent by registered post, the applicant was notified that the period allowed for submission of her observations had expired on 13 May 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 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. On 30 October 2014 the applicant received the letter but failed to respond. No correspondence has been received from her thereafter.

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 21 May 2015 .
