Case: 12-3199 Document: 10 Page: 2 Filed: 11/08/2012

MICHAEL HONEA V. MSPB 2

Pursuant to 5 U.S.C. § 7703(a)(2), the Board is designated 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 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 motion is granted. The revised official caption is reflected above. The response briefs of the Board and DHS are due within 21 days of the date of filing of this order.
