The European Court of Human Rights (Third Section), sitting on 20 May 2021 as a Committee composed of:

Darian Pavli, President, Dmitry Dedov, Peeter Roosma, judges,

and Viktoriya Maradudina, Acting Deputy Section Registrar,

Having regard to the above application lodged on 20 July 2006,

Having deliberated, decides as follows:

FACTS AND PROCEDURE

The applicant, Mr Andrey Anatolyevich Krasnikov, was born in 1966.

The applicant’s complaints under Article 6 § 1 and Article 13 of the Convention and Article 1 of Protocol No. 1 concerning the non-enforcement or delayed enforcement of domestic decisions and the lack of an effective remedy were communicated to the Russian Government (“the Government”), who submitted observations on the admissibility and merits.

On 17 September 2020 the Registry sent a letter to the applicant requesting to submit comments on the Government’s observations of 8 September 2020. No reply was received to this letter.

By letter dated 29 January 2021, sent by registered post, the applicant was notified that the period allowed for submission of the requested information had expired on 18 November 2020 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 received that letter on 12 February 2021. However, no response 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 10 June 2021.
