 RUIZ V. MSPB                                                  2

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

      The motions are granted. The revised official caption is
 reflected above.
