v.
MERIT SYSTEMS PROTECTION BOARD,
Respondent.
2011-3125
Petition for review of the Merit Systems Protection
Board in case no. AT1221100506-W-1.
ON MOTION
ORDER
The Department of Veterans Affairs moves to reform
the official caption to designate the Merit Systems Protec-
tion Board as the respondent. James L. Bouchard op-
poses.
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. We
BOUCHARD v. MSPB 2
determine that the Board should be designated as the
respondent.
Accordingly,
IT Is ORDERED THAT:
The motion is granted. The revised official caption is
reflected above.
