The Oregon attorney general’s office has asked a judge to grant a 60-day delay on the closing of the Paramount-Warner Bros. merger, as it continues to investigate whether the deal violates antitrust law.

Judge Eric Dahlin, of Multnomah County Superior Court, will hold a hearing on the motion on Monday. Lawyers for Paramount Skydance have informed the court that they do not intend to close the Warner Bros. deal before July 22.
