    Petition for review of the Merit Systems Protection

                __________________________

                      ON MOTION
                __________________________

                        ORDER

     The Department of the Treasury moves to recaption to
 name the Merit Systems Protection Board as respondent
 and for an extension of time, until November 15, 2012, for
 the Board to file its brief.

     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

 ILIR TSUNGU V. MSPB                                         2

 reaches the merits of the underlying case. Here, the Board
 dismissed Tsungu’s 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 to reform the caption is granted. The
 revised official caption is reflected above. The Board’s
 responsive brief is due within 21 days of the date of filing
 of this order.

    (2) The motion for an extension of time is denied as
 moot.
