ORDER
The Department of Homeland Security moves to reform
the caption to name the Merit Systems Protection Board as
proper respondent.
Pursuant to 5 U.S.C. § 7703(a)(2), the Board is desig-
nated as the respondent when the Board's decision concerns
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

Accordingly,
IT Is ORDERED THAT:

tion is reflected above.
(2) The Board's brief is due within 21 days from the
date of filing of this order.
