ON MOTION

ORDER

The Department of the Army moves to reform the ofﬁ-
cial caption to designate the Merit Systems Protection
Board as the respondent.

Pursuant to 5 U.S.C. § 7 703(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. We

COOPER V. MSPB 2

determine that the Board should be designated as the
respondent.

Accordingly,
IT Is ORDERED THAT:

(1) The motion is granted. The revised ofﬁcial cap-
tion is reﬂected above.

(2) The Board should calculate its brief due date from
the date of ﬁling of this order.
