                        ORDER

 Systems Protection Board (Board) as respondent and USPS

Case: 12-3183         Document: 12   Page: 2   Filed: 12/04/2012

 NATHANIEL MCDANIEL 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 concerns
 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 this appeal for lack of jurisdiction. Thus, the
 Board is the proper respondent in this petition for review.
       Accordingly,
       IT IS ORDERED THAT:

      (1) The motion is granted. The revised official caption
 is reflected above.

     (2) The response briefs of the Board and USPS are due
 within 21 days of the date of filing of this order.

                                       FOR THE COURT
