ORDER
The Department of the Treasury moves to recaption to
name the Merit Systems Protection Board as respondent,
and for a 21-day extension of time for the Board to file its
response brief.
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 Stewart’s appeal for lack of jurisdic-
tion. Thus, the Board is the proper respondent in this
petition for review.
Accordingly,
IT IS ORDERED THAT:
The motions are granted. The revised official caption
is reflected above. The Board should calculate its brief
due date from the date of filing of this order.
