FIRST SECTION

DECISION

Application no. 29643/10
Marinko ŠARIĆ
against Croatia

The European Court of Human Rights (First Section), sitting on 10 January 2012 as a Chamber composed of:

Anatoly Kovler, President,
Nina Vajić,
Elisabeth Steiner,
Mirjana Lazarova Trajkovska,
Julia Laffranque,
Linos-Alexandre Sicilianos,
Erik Møse, judges,
and Søren Nielsen, Section Registrar,

Having regard to the above application lodged on 16 August 2010,

Having deliberated, decides as follows:

THE FACTS

The applicant, Mr Marinko Šarić, is a Croatian national who was born in 1951 and is currently serving a prison term in Lepoglava State Prison. The Croatian Government (“the Government”) were represented by their Agent, Ms Š. StaZnik.

The applicant complained under Article 3 of the Convention about the conditions of his detention.

The applicant’s complaint was 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 his own observations. No reply was received.

By letter dated 17 June 2011, sent by registered post, the applicant was notified that the period allowed for submission of his observations had expired on 10 May 2011 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 27 June 2011. However, no response has been received.

THE LAW

The Court considers that, in these circumstances, the applicant may be regarded as no longer wishing to pursue his 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.
