v. MERIT SYSTEMS PROTECTION BOARD, Respondent. __________________________

ON MOTION __________________________

ORDER

The United States Postal Service moves to recaption to name the Merit Systems Protection Board as respondent.

Pursuant to 5 U.S.C. § 7703(a)(2), the Board is desig- nated as the respondent when the Board's decision concerns the procedure or jurisdiction of the Board. The employing agency is designated as the respondent when the Board reaches the merits of the underlying case. Here, the Board dismissed Marshall’s appeal for lack of jurisdiction. Thus, Case: 13-3012 Document: 11 Page: 2 Filed: 12/07/2012

DOUGLAS MARSHALL V. MSPB 2

the Board is the proper respondent in this petition for review. Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED THAT:

The motion is granted. The revised official caption is reflected above. The Board’s responsive brief is due within 21 days of the date of filing of this order.
