 FOSTER v. PITNEY BOWES CORPORATION                            2

                            ORDER
     Frederick Foster moves to revise the official caption in
 appeal No. 2013-1374 to include the United States Postal
 Service (USPS) as an appellee. The USPS opposes being
 added as a defendant-appellee and asks the court to strike
 portions of Foster’s brief or in the alternative to be given
 leave to file a response to his brief.
     Recently docketed appeal No. 2013-1444 involves the
 United States District Court for the Eastern District of
 Pennsylvania’s July 23, 2012 order granting dismissal of
 the USPS as a defendant and subsequent denial of Foster’s
 motion for sanctions against the USPS. That appeal, which
 is consolidated with appeal No. 2013-1374, moots the
 arguments made by the USPS.
       Upon consideration thereof,
       IT IS ORDERED THAT:
    (1) Foster’s motion is granted to the extent that the
 USPS is added as a defendant-appellee.
       (2) The revised official caption is reflected above.
     (3) Appellees should compute the due date of their
 briefs from the date of this order.
