FOSTER v. PITNEY BOWES CORPORATION 2

ORDER Frederick Foster moves to revise the official caption in appeal No. 2013-1374 to include the United States Postal Service (USPS) as an appellee. The USPS opposes being added as a defendant-appellee and asks the court to strike portions of Foster’s brief or in the alternative to be given leave to file a response to his brief. Recently docketed appeal No. 2013-1444 involves the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania’s July 23, 2012 order granting dismissal of the USPS as a defendant and subsequent denial of Foster’s motion for sanctions against the USPS. That appeal, which is consolidated with appeal No. 2013-1374, moots the arguments made by the USPS. Upon consideration thereof, IT IS ORDERED THAT: (1) Foster’s motion is granted to the extent that the USPS is added as a defendant-appellee. (2) The revised official caption is reflected above. (3) Appellees should compute the due date of their briefs from the date of this order.
