# HPE-Juniper Merger Faces New Scrutiny as Judge Backs State Review

A federal judge is allowing a group of states to take a closer look at how the U.S. Justice Department approved a major tech merger. The deal involves Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) and Juniper Networks and is valued at $14 billion. The order came from U.S. District Judge Casey Pitts in San Jose, California, and allows the states, led by Colorado, to review parts of the settlement that cleared the transaction. The states argue the approval process may have been flawed, while the government says the deal already meets legal standards.

Earlier this year, the Justice Department sued to block the merger, marking the first major antitrust case under the new Trump administration. However, the agency later reached a settlement with the companies just days before trial.

In his latest ruling, Pitts said the states are entitled to some of the records shared after the lawsuit was filed. He wrote that the material could help the states assess competition risks tied to the deal and whether the settlement properly addresses those risks. "That record is undoubtedly relevant," Pitts wrote, adding that it may also shed light on the strength of the government's original case.

Meanwhile, HPE shares dropped 0.21% on Tuesday, closing at $24.02.
