ORDER

The Department of the Navy moves without opposition to reform the official caption to name the Merit Systems Protection Board as the proper respondent, and to set the due date for the Board’s brief as 21 days from the date of disposition of this motion.

Pursuant to 5 U.S.C. § 7703(a)(2), the Board is desig- nated as the respondent when the Board’s decision con- cerns the procedure or jurisdiction of the Board. The Case: 13-3093 Document: 13 Page: 2 Filed: 07/05/2013

WELCOME V. MSPB 2

employing agency is designated as the respondent when the Board reaches the merits of the underlying case. Here, the Board dismissed Welcome’s appeals for lack of jurisdic- tion. Thus, the Board is the proper respondent in this petition for review. Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED THAT:

(1) The motion to reform the caption is granted. The revised official caption is reflected above.

(2) The Board should calculate the due date for its brief from the date of filing of this order.
