ROKSOLIANA DACHNIWSKYJ, Petitioner, v. OFFICE OF PERSONNEL MANAGEMENT, Respondent, AND THERESA DACHNIWSKYJ, Intervenor.
NOTE: This order is nonprecedential.
Petition for review of the Merit Systems Protection Board in case no. CH0831100439-I-1.
ON MOTION
ORDER
Before LOURIE, Circuit Judge.
The Office of Personnel Management ("OPM") moves to waive the requirements of Fed. Cir. R. 27(f) and remand this case to the Merit Systems Protection Board with instructions to order reinstatement of OPM's decision awarding a survivor annuity to Roksoliana Dachniwskyj. Roksoliana Dachniwskyj consents. Theresa Dachniwskyj opposes.
We deem it the better course for the matter to be fully briefed and decided by a merits panel.
Accordingly,
IT IS ORDERED THAT:
(1) The motions are denied.
(2) OPM's brief is due within 40 days from the date of filing of this order.
FOR THE COURT
