DECISION

Application no. 39675/08
Aleksandr Mikhaylovich POTSELUYEV
against Russia

The European Court of Human Rights (First Section), sitting on 15 March 2011 as a Committee composed of:

Christos Rozakis, President,
Anatoly Kovler,
George Nicolaou, judges,
and André Wampach, Deputy Section Registrar,

Having regard to the above application lodged on 13 June 2008,

Having deliberated, decides as follows:

THE FACTS

The application was lodged by Mr Aleksandr Mikhaylovich Potseluyev, a Russian national who was born in 1950 and lives in Novo-Kharitonovo, a village in the Moscow Region. 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’s complaint concerning a quashing of a binding judgment was communicated to the Government, who submitted their observations on its admissibility and merits. The observations were forwarded to the applicant, who was invited to submit his own observations.

As no reply was received to the Registry’s letter, 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.

On 11 January 2011 in a telephone conversation with the Registry the applicant informed the Court that the Government had satisfied his claim and that he had no intention to pursue his application.

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.
