GAGE V. MSPB 2
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 Gage’s appeal for lack of jurisdiction
Thus, the Board is the proper respondent in this petition
for review
Accordingly,
IT ls 0RDERED THAT: ,
The motions are granted. The revised official caption
is reflected above. The Board and the lnterVenor should
calculate their brief due date from the date of filing of this
order.
