The Ofiice of Personne| Management moves without opposition to refom1 the official caption to designate the Merit Systems Protection Board as the respondent. Pursuant to 5 U.S.C. § 7703(a)(2), the Board is designated as the respondent when the Board's decision concerns the procedure or jurisdiction of the Board. The deciding agency is designated as the respondent when the Board reaches the merits of the underlying case. in this case, the Board dismissed the appeal for lack of jurisdiction. Thus, the Board is the proper respondent.

According|y, lT lS ORDERED THAT:

The motion is granted The revised official caption is reflected above FOR THE COURT
