                      ON MOTION
                  ______________________

     Before LOURIE, CHEN, and STARK, Circuit Judges.
 PER CURIAM.
                         ORDER
     After the administrative judge dismissed his appeal for
 lack of jurisdiction, Ahmed Ahmed bypassed review by the
 Merit Systems Protection Board (which lacked a quorum at
 the time) and filed a petition for review at this court. The
 Board now moves to remand, so that it can consider the
 jurisdictional issue in the first instance. The Board states
Case: 22-1347       Document: 19   Page: 2     Filed: 08/25/2022

 2                                              AHMED   v. MSPB

 that Mr. Ahmed does not oppose “subject to the preserva-
 tion of all rights to appeal any and all currently pending
 issues in the instant action and/or any issues remanded
 pursuant to a remand in this action.” Mot. at 2. The court
 agrees that remand here could preserve party and judicial
 resources, and therefore grants the motion.
     Accordingly,
     IT IS ORDERED THAT:
    (1) The motion is granted. The case is remanded to the
 Board for additional proceedings consistent with this order.
     (2) Each side shall bear its own costs.
