2 JONES v. MSPB

employing agency is designated as the respondent when the Board reaches the merits of the underlying case. Here, the Board dismissed Maria Lavinia Jones’s appeal for lack of jurisdiction. 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 days from the date of filing of this order.
