                      ON MOTION
                __________________________

                        ORDER

     The Department of the Treasury moves to recaption to
 name the Merit Systems Protection Board as respondent,
 and for a 21-day extension of time for the MSPB to file its
 response brief.

     Pursuant to 5 U.S.C. § 7703(a)(2), the Board is desig-
 nated as the respondent when the Board's decision concerns
 the procedure or jurisdiction of the Board. The employing
 agency is designated as the respondent when the Board

 SHERYL TAYLOR V. MSPB                                       2

 reaches the merits of the underlying case. Here, the Board
 dismissed Taylor’s appeal for lack of jurisdiction. 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’s responsive brief is due
 within 21 days of the date of filing of this order.
