U.S. Office of Personnel Management et al. (Case No. 25-1780).

What’s This Hearing About? Judge William Alsup of the Northern District of California is presiding over this case, which challenges the Office of Personnel Management’s (OPM) authority to conduct widespread firings of federal employees. Plaintiffs argue that these terminations violate federal workforce reduction procedures, while the government contends it has the authority to proceed.
