The Oregon attorney general’s office has withdrawn its motion to delay the closing of the Paramount-Warner Bros. merger, according to a filing submitted Friday in the Multnomah County Circuit Court in Portland, Ore.

The deal could close as soon as July 22, though several states, including Oregon and California, are investigating whether the $111 billion transaction violates their antitrust laws. The states could still seek an injunction to block the merger before that date.
