Mr. H.C. KRÜGER, Secretary to the Commission

Having regard to Article 25 of the Convention for the Protection

of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms;

Having regard to the application introduced on 17 March 1993 by

S.G. against Norway and registered on 23 March 1993 under file No.

21573/93;

Having regard to the report provided for in Rule 47 of the Rules

of Procedure of the Commission;

Having deliberated;

Decides as follows:

THE FACTS

The applicant is a Kosovo Albanian, born in 1970. At present he

resides at Færvik, Norway. Before the Commission he is represented by

Mr. Fredrick Andersen, a lawyer practising in Oslo.

Before the Commission the applicant complained of the Norwegian

authorities' intentions to expel him from Norway. He claimed that this

would, in the circumstances, amount to a violation of Articles 2 and

3 of the Convention.

PROCEEDINGS BEFORE THE COMMISSION

The application was introduced on 17 March 1993 and registered

on 23 March 1993.

On 23 March 1993 the President of the Commission decided,

pursuant to Rule 36 of the Commission's Rules of Procedure, to indicate

to the Government of Norway that it would be desirable in the

interests of the Parties and the proper conduct of the proceedings

before the Commission not to deport the applicant to the former

Yugoslavia until the Commission had had an opportunity to examine the

application.

On 7 April 1993 the Commission decided not to prolong the

indication made under Rule 36 of its Rules of Procedure and furthermore

decided to adjourn the examination of the case.

On 14 June 1993 the applicant informed the Commission that he had

married a Norwegian national and that, therefore, there was no

immediate danger of him being expelled from Norway. He requested the

Commission not to examine the application further.

REASONS FOR THE DECISION

Having regard to Article 30 para. 1 (a) of the Convention, the

Commission notes that the applicant does not intend to pursue his

petition. Furthermore, it finds no special circumstances regarding

respect for human rights as defined in the Convention which require the

continuation of the examination of the application.

For these reasons, the Commission, unanimously

DECIDES TO STRIKE THE APPLICATION OFF ITS LIST OF CASES.
