                      ON MOTION
                __________________________

                        ORDER

     The Department of Justice moves to recaption to name
 the Merit Systems Protection Board as respondent. Mr.
 Baney opposes.

     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

 JOHN-PIERRE BANEY V. MSPB                                   2

 dismissed Baney’s appeal for lack of jurisdiction. Thus, the
 Board is the proper respondent in this petition for review.
       Accordingly,
       IT IS ORDERED THAT:

     The motion 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.
