MCNAlR V. MSPB 2 moves for leave to intervene. Jacqueline H. McNair opp0ses. McNair filed an appeal challenging her asserted removal from the Senior Executive Service (SES). The Board dismissed the appeal for lack of jurisdiction, concluding that Ms. McNair was removed during her one- year probationary period, and an agency’s removal of an appointee from the SES during a probationary period "is not appealable" to the Board. 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. In this case, the Board dismissed the appeal for lack of jurisdiction Thus, the Board is the proper respondent in this petition for review. Accordingly, IT ls 0RDERED THAT: The motions to reform the official caption and to in- tervene are granted. The revised official caption is re- flected above.
