FACTS AND PROCEDURE

The applicant, Ms Oksana Vladimirovna Grekova , is a Russian national, who was born in 1971 and lives in Moscow .

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

The applicant complained under Article 6 of the Convention about the allegedly unfair participation of the prosecutor in eviction proceedings.

The applicant ’ s complaint s 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 s dated 5 June and 18 September 2013 , sent by registered post, the applicant was notified that the period allowed for submission of her observations had expired on 13 September 2012 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. Both of the letters sent to the applicant were returned to the Court as not claimed.

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.
