The Russian Government (“the Government”) were represented by Mr   G.   Matyushkin, the Representative of the Russian Federation to the European Court of Human Rights. The applicants complained under Article   6 of the Convention and Article   1 of Protocol No.   1 to the Convention about unlawful extension of the time-limits for lodging a casation appeals and quashing of the final domestic judgments in their favour. On 28 August and 1 October 2014 the applicants’ complaints were communicated to the Government, who submitted their observations on the admissibility and merits. The observations were forwarded to the applicants, who were invited to submit their own observations. On different dates the representatives of Mr   Tankanag, Mr   Kuchmenov, Mr   Kerefov, Mr   Stashyalis, Mr   Karpenko, Mr   Bezrodnov, Mr   Veresov, Mr   Nikitenko and Mr   Zaichenko informed the Court that they had either lost contact with the applicants or in case of   Mr   Kostromskoy the applicant had been dead and none of his relatives expressed a wish to pursue his application before the Court. Therefore the applicants’ representatives were unable to submit observations on the applicants’ behalf. As for Mr   Volotskiy the widow of the late applicant submitted the death certificate and the certificate of marriage expressing her wish to pursue the application on the late applicant’s behalf. On different dates, indicated in the appendix, by letters, sent by registered post, the applicants, except for Mr   Kostromskoy and Mr   Volotskiy, were notified that the period allowed for submission of their observations had expired and that no extension of time had been requested. The applicants 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. No response has been received from the applicants. THE LAW Having regard to the similar subject matter of the applications, the Court finds it appropriate to examine them jointly in a single decision. As regards Mr   Volotskiy’s application the Court observes that the late applicant’s widow, Ms Volotskaya, failed to submit a succession certificate confirming that she had accepted the late applicant’s succession (see Streltsov and other “Novocherkassk military pensioners” cases v. Russia , nos.   8549/06 and 86 others, § 39, 29 July 2010, with further references and by contrast, Shurygina and Others v. Russia , [Committee], nos. 2982/05, 5991/05, 9546/05 and 24130/06, §   16). In these circumstances, and having regard to its case-law, the Court considers that Ms Volotskaya has no standing to pursue the application on behalf of her late husband. As regards the other applicants, the Court considers that the applicants may be regarded as no longer wishing to pursue their applications, 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 cases. In view of the above, it is appropriate to strike the cases out of the list. For these reasons, the Court, unanimously, Decides to join the applications; Decides to strike the applications out of its list of cases.     Done in English and notified in writing on 19 January 2017.   Fatoş Aracı   Helen Keller Deputy Registrar   President APPENDIX   No. Application No. Lodged on Applicant Date of birth Place of residence Nationality   Represented by Date of communication Date of the last correspondence   18767/13 12/02/2013 Vladimir Grigoryevich TANKANAG 18/10/1938 Nalchik Russian   Andemirkan Muratovich KUCHMENOV 01/07/1937 Shalushka Russian   Karalbi Gidovich KEREFOV 09/12/1939 Shalushka Russian   Magamed Saltanmuratovich ABUBAKAROV   28/08/2014 12/05/2014   28481/13 08/04/2013 Algis Kazio STASHYALIS 04/03/1963 Prokhladnyy Russian   Zaur Borisovich GESHEV   01/10/2014 21/10/2015   58425/13 26/08/2013 Viktor Mikhaylovich KOSTROMSKOY 18/10/1955 Prokhladnyy Russian   Magamed Saltanmuratovich ABUBAKAROV   01/10/2014 19/10/2015   58433/13 26/08/2013 Aleksandr Fedorovich KARPENKO 07/06/1953 Mayskiy Russian   Mikhail Yakovlevich BEZRODNOV 06/06/1953 Mayskiy Russian   Magamed Saltanmuratovich ABUBAKAROV   01/10/2014 21/10/2015   58580/13 26/08/2013 Aleksey Sergeyevich VERESOV 19/03/1954 Prokhladnyy Russian   Viktor Viktorovich VOLOTSKIY 16/08/1946 Prokhladnyy Russian   Sergey Pavlovich NIKITENKO 20/04/1954 Aleksandrovskaya Russian   Aleksandr Vasilyevich ZAICHENKO 05/12/1950 Aleksandrovskaya Russian   Magamed Saltanmuratovich ABUBAKAROV   01/10/2014 21/10/2015
