5.  The applicant was born in 1969 and lives in Zamość. 6.  On 12 September 2003 the Otwock District Court convicted the applicant of having committed a series of robberies acting in an organised criminal group and sentenced him to ten years’ imprisonment. The applicant appealed against the judgment. 7.  On 21 September 2003 the Warsaw Regional Court partly amended the judgment. The applicant lodged a cassation appeal with the Supreme Court. 8.  On 30 June 2005 the Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal as manifestly ill-founded. 9.  On 16 August 2005 the applicant sent his application form to the Court. The envelope in which it was delivered bears several stamps of the Zamość Prison and a handwritten note: censored, D[istrict] C[ourt] [ocenzurowano SR]. Two sides of the envelope had been resealed with sellotape. The envelope itself was delivered in a plastic cover, apparently sealed by the post office.
