                       2011-3048

   Petition for review of the Merit Systems Protection
Board in case no. DC1221090356-M-1.

                      ON MOTION

                       ORDER

   The Department of State moves to recaption to name
the Merit Systems Protection Board as respondent.
Matthew Nasuti opposes.

    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,
NASUTI v. MSPB                                                  2

the Board dismissed Nasuti's appeal for lack of jurisdiction,
concluding that the letter he submitted could not be con-
sidered new evidence and added to the record. The Board
never reached the merits.
      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.
