A coalition of groups under the Block the Merger banner have filed an amicus brief – a third party representation in a court case – opposing the Paramount Skydance-Warner Bros. Discovery merger.

Earlier that day Judge Araceli Martínez-Olguín, who is presiding over the case, gave interested parties permission to file amicus briefs with a deadline of 12:01 a.m.
