USPS also moves on behalf of the Board for an extension

of time to file the response brief to Manjeet S. Khalsa’s
informal brief.
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 Board dismissed Khalsa’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 designate the Board as respondent
and the USPS as an intervenor is granted. The revised
official caption is reflected above.
(2) The motion for extension of time is granted to the
extent that the Board’s and the USPS’ informal response
briefs are due 21 days from the date of this order.
