Microsoft sued the Justice Department. I'm not a lawyer, but since the Justice Department is no longer doing this thing, they may not have any standing for the lawsuit. I don't think they can force the lawsuit through to get a decision since they're no longer being harmed by it. It wouldn't be the first time someone who thought they might lose backed down to avoid setting a precedent. Police departments did it with cases where people challenged the use of Stingrays, for example.
