PER CURIAM.
ORDER
Robert Donnell Donaldson moves for reconsideration of
the court’s September 11, 2012 order denying his motion
for judgment as a matter of law/summary judgment in
appeal No. 2012-3160 which we construe as a motion for
summary reversal. The Department of Homeland Security
(DHS) opposes. Donaldson replies. Donaldson also moves
for the court to exclude DHS’ informal brief in the same
appeal. DHS opposes and moves for leave to file a response
to the motion. Donaldson moves for the court to exclude
DHS’ Rule 28(j) notice of supplemental authority in appeal
No. 2012-3161. DHS opposes. Donaldson replies. Don-
aldson moves for the court to transfer his case to the United
States District Court for the District of Maryland. DHS and
the Merit Systems Protection Board (MSPB) both request a
motion of extension of time to file their response. Don-
aldson opposes.
Upon consideration thereof,
IT IS ORDERED THAT:
(1) DHS’ motion for leave to file a response to Don-
aldson’s motion to exclude its brief is granted.
