YOLANDA S. GEIREN, Petitioner, v. MERIT SYSTEMS PROTECTION BOARD, Respondent.
NOTE: This order is nonprecedential.
Petition for review of the Merit Systems Protection Board in case no. CH0752100958-I -1.
ON MOTION
ORDER
The United States Postal Service moves to reform the official caption to designate the Merit Systems Protection Board as the respondent. Yolanda S. Geiren has not responded.
Pursuant to 5 U.S.C. § 7703(a)(2), the Board is designated 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. We determine that the Board should be designated as the respondent.
Accordingly,
IT IS ORDERED THAT:
(1) The motion is granted. The revised official caption is reflected above.
(2) The Board should calculate its brief due date from the date of this order.
FOR THE COURT
