                        ON MOTION
                    ______________________

                           ORDER
      The United States Postal Service moves to reform the
 official caption to name the Merit Systems Protection Board
 (“Board”) as the proper respondent, and for a 21-day
 extension of time following the disposition of these motions
 for the Board to file its response brief. Brenda Woods
 opposes the motion for an extension of time.
     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. We
 determine that the Board should be designated as the
 respondent.
       Accordingly,
       IT IS ORDERED THAT:
    (1) The motion is granted. The Board’s brief shall be
 due within 21 days of the date of this order.
       (2) The revised official caption is reflected above.
