    Petition for review of the Merit Systems Protection
 Board in No. PH0752120027-I-1.
               __________________________

                      ON MOTION
                __________________________

                        ORDER

     The Department of the Army moves without opposition
 to reform the official caption to name the Merit Systems
 Protection Board (Board) as respondent.

     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,
Case: 13-3054         Document: 10   Page: 2   Filed: 04/16/2013

 CRAIG RAGLAND V. MSPB                                       2

 the Board dismissed Ragland’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 motion is granted. The revised official caption is
 reflected above. The Board should calculate its brief due
 date from the date of service of the petitioner’s brief.
