The applicants, J.M. and M.S., were born in 1990 and 2020, respectively. They were represented by Ms I. Metton , a lawyer practising in Paris.

On 18 January 2022 the applicants informed the Registry that they wanted to withdraw the application to the Court.

THE LAW

In the light of the foregoing, the Court concludes that the applicants may be regarded as no longer wishing to pursue the application (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 the Protocols thereto which require the continued examination of the application.

Accordingly, the case should be struck out of the list.

For these reasons, the Court, unanimously,

Decides to strike the application out of its list of cases.
