The Department of Veterans Affairs moves to reform
the official caption to designate the Merit Systems Protec-
tion Board as the respondent and for an extension of time
for the Board to file its brief.

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. We

tion is reflected above.
