California and 11 other states have filed for a temporary restraining order and a preliminary injunction to prevent the Paramount-Warner Bros. deal from closing while the states pursue an antitrust lawsuit.

In a motion filed on Monday evening, the states asked a federal judge to act by July 22. Paramount has previously informed the states that it will not close the transaction before that date.
