The applicant’s complaints under Article 5   §   3 of the Convention concerning the excessive length of pre-trial detention were communicated to the Russian Government (“the Government”). On 4 May 2017 the Government informed the Registry that applicant had died. By a letter dated 30 May 2017 the Registry invited the applicant’s heirs to inform whether they intend to pursue the application. No reply followed. In August 2017, in view of the lack of response from the applicant’s heirs, the Court informed the parties that it would proceed with the examination of the application on the basis of the case-file as it stood at the moment. No comments from the Government or the applicant’s heirs followed. THE LAW In the light of the foregoing, the Court concludes that the applicant’s heirs do not wish to pursue the 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 the Protocols thereto which require the continued examination of the application. Accordingly, the case should be struck 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 12 April 2018.   Liv Tigerstedt   Alena Poláčková Acting Deputy Registrar   President
