The European Court of Human Rights (Third Section), sitting on 4 September 2012 as a Committee composed of:

Egbert Myjer , President, Luis López Guerra, Kristina Pardalos , judges, and Marialena Tsirli , Deputy Section Registrar ,

Having regard to the above application lodged on 23 August 2006,

Having deliberated, decides as follows:

THE FACTS

The applicant, Ms Mihaela Bianca Trifan , is a Romanian national, who was born in 1962 and lives in Sibiu .

The Romanian Government (“the Government”) were represented by their Agent, M r s Irina Cambrea , of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

The applicant ’ s complaints concerning the alleged unfairness of the criminal proceedings instituted against her 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 comments. No reply was received to the Registry ’ s letter.

By letter dated 29 May 2012, sent by registered post, the applicant was notified that the period allowed for submission of her observations had expired on 17 May 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. The applicant received this letter on 11 June 2012. However, she has failed to react to that warning.

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.
