Case: 14-3074         Document: 13    Page: 2     Filed: 05/06/2014

 2                                   JOHNSON    v. MSPB

     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 motions are 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.
                                        FOR THE COURT
