FACTS AND PROCEDURE

The applicant, Mr Andrey Vladimirovich Leksin, was born in 1976.

The applicant was represented by Ms T. Sukhareva, a lawyer practising in Moscow.

The applicant’s complaints under Article 5 § 4 of the Convention concerning the deficiencies in proceedings for review of the lawfulness of detention were communicated to the Russian Government (“the Government”).

By letter dated 28 April 2021, sent by registered post, the applicant was notified that the period allowed for submission of his position concerning the friendly settlement proposal had expired 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 an application 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’s representative received that letter on 14 May 2021. However, no response has followed.

THE LAW

In the light of the foregoing, and in the absence of any special circumstances regarding respect for the rights guaranteed by the Convention and the Protocols thereto, the Court, in accordance with Article 37 § 1 (a) of the Convention, considers that it is no longer justified to continue the 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.

Done in English and notified in writing on 2 December 2021.
