Oregon Attorney General officials ask a judge to delay Paramount’s proposed acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery by 60 days while the state continues an antitrust investigation and related litigation. The request also seeks an order requiring Paramount to produce documents related to the merger. The motion is set to be heard Monday in Multnomah County Circuit Court before Judge Eric Dahlin. According to the reports, the state’s action follows ongoing review of whether the deal could violate antitrust laws. Paramount’s legal team is contesting aspects of the request, and the companies’ filings indicate the transaction is moving toward closing, making the timing of the court intervention central to the dispute. The latest developments reflect additional legal maneuvering around approvals for the transaction, with the Oregon attorney general’s office alleging improper conduct tied to the role of the U.S. Department of Justice in the process. How the court will rule on the requested delay and the scope of any document production order remains pending.
