NOTE: This order is nonprecedential.

United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit 2009-3190

JOHN-PIERRE BANEY,

Petitioner,

v.

MERIT SYSTEMS PROTECTION BOARD,

Respondent.

Petition for review of the Merit Systems Protection Board in DAl221090177-W-1.

ON MOTION

ORDER The Department of Justice moves to reform the official caption to designate the

Merit Systems Protection Board as the respondent. John-Pierre Baney submits a form

requesting waiver of the requirement that he pay the docketing fee.

Pursuant to 5 U.S.C. § 7703(a)(2), the Board is designated as the respondent when

the Board's decision concerns solely 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.

Upon consideration thereof,

IT IS ORDERED THAT:

The motion to reform the official caption is granted. The revised official

caption is reflected above.

The requirement that Baney pay the docketing fee is waived. FOR THE COURT
