Resumo Omnilex

P. withdrew his appeal to the Federal Tribunal against the Geneva cantonal social-insurance judgment of 16 February 2009, adding a reservation for the remainder. The Federal Tribunal held that the reservation had no concrete legal significance and did not undermine the unconditional and explicit nature of the withdrawal. The case was therefore removed from the docket. Applying Art. 66 para. 2 LTF, the court decided not to charge judicial costs. The order was communicated to the parties, the cantonal court, and the Federal Social Insurance Office.

Sumário Omnilex

Arts. 71 LTF and 73 al. 1 PCF; withdrawal of appeal and removal from the docket; Art. 66 al. 2 LTF, costs. A declaration of withdrawal of an appeal is effective if it is unconditional and explicit. A merely formulaic reservation such as "all rights reserved for the remainder" does not deprive the withdrawal of this character where it has no concrete legal scope. Upon valid withdrawal, the proceedings are struck from the role. Judicial costs may be waived under Art. 66 al. 2 LTF.

Ordonnance du 10 juin 2009
IIe Cour de droit social

Composition
MM. les Juges U. Meyer, Président,
Borella et Kernen.
Greffier: M. Berthoud.

Parties
P.________,
recourant,

contre

Office cantonal genevois de l'assurance-invalidité, rue de Lyon 97, 1203 Genève,
intimé.

Objet
Assurance-invalidité,

recours contre le jugement du Tribunal cantonal des assurances sociales de la République et canton de Genève du 16 février 2009.

Vu:
la lettre postée le 2 juin 2009 par laquelle P.________ a déclaré retirer le recours interjeté le 28 mars 2009 contre un jugement du Tribunal cantonal des assurances sociales de la République et canton de Genève du 16 février 2009,
considérant:
que bien que la déclaration de retrait du recours soit accompagnée de la mention « tous droits réservés pour le surplus », on doit constater que cette réserve n'a aucune portée concrète et qu'elle n'affecte donc pas le caractère inconditionnel et explicite du retrait exigé par la jurisprudence (cf. ATF 119 V 36 consid. 1b p. 38, 111 V 156, 158);
que la cause doit dès lors être rayée du rôle en application des art. 71 LTF et 73 al. 1 PCF;
qu'il se justifie en appliquant l'art. 66 al. 2 LTF de statuer sans frais judiciaires,

par ces motifs, le Tribunal fédéral ordonne:

1.
La cause est radiée du rôle par suite de retrait du recours.

2.
Il n'est pas perçu de frais judiciaires.

3.
La présente ordonnance est communiquée aux parties, au Tribunal cantonal des assurances sociales de la République et canton de Genève et à l'Office fédéral des assurances sociales.
