WASHINGTON—A federal judge in Washington declined to issue a temporary restraining order against the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) over its use of new, government-wide email servers.

The ruling, given at a hearing on Feb. 6, was made after two anonymous government employees, Jane Doe 1 and 2, filed a class action suit against OPM over the use of the outside servers, which they alleged were insecure.
