The Second Circuit has ruled in Microsoft's favor in the case of the e-mails in Ireland:

"United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit reversed a lower court’s ruling that Microsoft must turn over email communications for a suspect in a narcotics investigation stored in a Microsoft data center in Dublin."

The precedent that the Justice Dept wanted was:

"that Microsoft’s status as a company based in the United States gave it authority to obtain its data, even if the data was stored outside the country."

Given the determination the Justice Dept. has shown so far:

"The government is likely to appeal the ruling, legal experts said."
