Judge Extends Pause for ParamountWarner Bros. Deal
"A federal judge said on Thursday that Paramount could not close its acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery until at least Aug. 18, as she considers two lawsuits that seek to block the deal.
The move extended a pause on the deal. On Monday, the judge, Araceli Martínez-Olguín of U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California, froze the deal for 14 days after a group of states sued to stop the acquisition, citing antitrust concerns. In that ruling, she said she would hold a hearing on Aug. 3 about whether to issue an injunction that would block the deal from closing for the duration of the lawsuit.
But Paramount asked Judge Martínez-Olguín to delay that hearing to later in August and to allow testimony from witnesses. The Writers Guild of America, which filed its own lawsuit against the deal this month, also asked her to consider its request for an injunction at the same time as the states’ request. It has argued that the deal would harm screenwriters."
