v.

MERIT SYSTEMS PROTECTION BOARD, Respondent. ______________________

2014-3037 ______________________

Petition for review of the Merit Systems Protection Board in No. SF0752120777-I-1. ______________________

ON MOTION ______________________

ORDER The Department of Homeland Security moves to reform the official caption to name the Merit Systems Protection Board (“Board”) as the proper respondent. 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 employing agency is designated as the respondent when the Board reaches the merits of the underlying case. Here, the Case: 14-3037 Document: 21 Page: 2 Filed: 03/28/2014

2 DEEM v. MSPB

Board dismissed Donna Deem’s appeal 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’s informal response brief is due within 21 days from the date of filing of this order.
