FACTS AND PROCEDURE<\/strong><\/p>\n The applicant, Mr Vlado Bratuli\u0107, is a Croatian national, who was born in 1949 and lives in Split. He was represented before the Court by Mr\u00a0J.\u00a0Franceschi, a lawyer practising in Split.<\/p>\n The applicant\u2019s complaint concerning access to court was communicated to the Croatian Government (\u201cthe Government\u201d), who were represented by their Agent, Ms \u0160. Sta\u017enik.<\/p>\n The applicant failed to respond to the last Registry\u2019s letter of 23 October 2018 (received by his representative on 30 October 2018), reminding him that the period allowed for submission of his observations in reply to the Government\u2019s pleading had expired on 16 July 2018 and that no extension of time had been requested. His attention was drawn to Article\u00a037\u00a0\u00a7\u00a01\u00a0(a) of the Convention.<\/p>\n THE LAW<\/strong><\/p>\n 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\u00a037\u00a0\u00a7\u00a01\u00a0(a) of the Convention. Furthermore, in accordance with Article\u00a037\u00a0\u00a7\u00a01 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.<\/p>\n In view of the above, it is appropriate to strike the case out of the list.<\/p>\n For these reasons, the Court, unanimously,<\/p>\n Decides to strike the application out of its list of cases.<\/p>\n Done in English and notified in writing on 14 March 2019.<\/p>\n Renata Degener\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Armen Harutyunyan
