VA 2 In his first motion concerning the record, Allen seeks to add evidence that he asserts is not listed on the Merit Systems Protection Board's certified list. The Depart- ment responds that one document, a petition for review, is included in documents listed on the certified list and that certain other documents were created after the Board's initial decision. Allen replies that not all documents attached to the petition for review were included The court determines, without binding the merits panel to any determinations related to the merits of this case, that Allen may include with his brief any documents that he asserts were presented to the Board in this case. Additionally, any documents generated by the Board in this case, although issued after the Board's initial deci- sion, may be included with Allen's brief There is no need to "correct the record." Accordingly, IT ls 0RDERED THAT: (1) The motion to correct the record is denied as un- necessary. Allen may include with his brief the docu- ments he asserts were before the Board and documents that he asserts were generated by the Board A copy of this order shall be transmitted to the merits panel as- signed to hear this case. (2) The motion to withdraw the motion to withdraw arguments in his opening brief is granted The motion to withdraw arguments is itself withdrawn (3) Any other pending motions are moot FOR THE COURT JAN 2 7 2911 /S/ Jan H0rba1y Date J an Hor`baly Clerk Fl u.s. count 0lFEr¢?>EALs ron rs-le FEoEnAL cannon JM| 2 ? 2011 IAN HDRBALY CLERK 3 cc: s8 Caulton D.
