ORDER
The Department of Home1and Security (DHS) moves

Protection Board (Board) as respondent. A1so, DHS moves
to suspend the further briefing pending the resolution of
the motion to recaption and for an extension of time for the

motion.

ARCHER 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 Archer’s appeal for lack of jurisdiction
Thus, the Board is the proper respondent in this petition
for review
Aocordingly,
IT ls 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. _
