The Turkish Government (“the Government”) were represented by their Agent. The applicant complained under Article 8 of the Convention about his inability to have his first name be amended. 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. This letter was returned to the Court with the mention “not known at this address”. By letter dated 27 May 2016, sent by registered post, the applicant was notified that the period allowed for submission of his observations had expired on 24 March 2016 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 did not reply to this letter. 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.   Done in English and notified in writing on 6 April 2017.   Hasan Bakırcı   Nebojša Vučinić Deputy Registrar   President
