Arkadiusz Piotr Lipinski,


THE PRESIDENT OF THE COURT,

after hearing the Advocate General, M. Bobek,

makes the following

Order

1        By letter of 24 August 2017, the Registry of the Court of Justice sent to the referring court a copy of the judgments delivered on 10 August 2017, Tupikas (C‑270/17 PPU, EU:C:2017:628), and Zdziaszek (C‑271/17 PPU, EU:C:2017:629), requesting that court to inform it whether, in the light of those judgments, it wished to maintain its request for a preliminary ruling.

2        By letter of 21 September 2017, received at the Court Registry on the same day, the Supreme Court (Ireland) informed the Court that, in the light of those judgments, answers to Question 1(b)(i) and Question 2 were no longer needed.

3        By letter of 23 January 2018, the Court Registry sent to the referring court a copy of the judgment delivered on 22 December 2017, Ardic (C‑571/17, EU:C:2017:1026), requesting that court to inform it whether, in the light of that judgment, it wished to maintain its request for a preliminary ruling.

4        By letter of 12 February 2018, received at the Court Registry on 16 February 2018, the Supreme Court (Ireland) informed the Court that, in the light of that judgment, an answer to the remainder of Question 1 was no longer needed and that it therefore did not intend to maintain that request for a preliminary ruling.

5        In those circumstances, pursuant to Article 100 of the Rules of Procedure of the Court of Justice, it is appropriate to order the removal of the present case from the Register of the Court.

6        Since these proceedings are, for the parties to the main proceedings, a step in the action pending before the national court, the decision on costs is a matter for that court.

On those grounds, the President of the Court hereby orders:

Case C376/17 is removed from the Register of the Court.

Luxembourg, 23 February 2018.
