July 10 (Reuters) - The Oregon attorney general's office

said on Friday it has withdrawn its court motion to delay

Paramount's proposed $110 billion acquisition of Warner

Bros.

"Paramount made it clear that they weren't going to comply

with the investigative demand, and that they think they're above

the law. We're not going to let them waste Oregonians' resources

on these games," Oregon Department of Justice said in a

statement to Reuters.

"We've withdrawn the motion to consider our next steps," the

statement added.

Oregon Attorney General Dan Rayfield's office earlier this

week asked a court in Multnomah County to order the company to

hand over records ​and delay the deal by 60 days so the state

can review them, and said Paramount agreed not to close the

transaction before July 22 amid the state's review.

Oregon is seeking documents regarding "Project Warrior,"

which was Paramount's internal code name for efforts to obtain

regulatory clearance. The state is also asking for records

related to the company's efforts to lobby the Trump

administration for support of the merger.

"We are pleased that the Oregon Attorney General has

withdrawn its motion to delay this transaction," a Paramount

spokesperson said in a statement to Reuters, calling the merger

"lawful" and "pro-competitive."

The deal, which would combine two of Hollywood's four major

studios, has drawn criticism from ​actors, writers and others in

Hollywood who fear job losses. It also faces scrutiny from other

U.S. states, which could sue to block the acquisition as early

as next week over competition concerns, Reuters has reported.
