Paramount Moves to Recuse Judge Over WGA Ties in Warner Merger Case

Paramount asked a federal court to recuse U.S. District Judge P. Casey Pitts from the states’ antitrust challenge to Paramount-Warner Bros. Discovery, arguing his prior work for the Writers Guild of America creates an appearance of bias. The case may be reassigned to Judge Araceli Martínez-Olguín, as a related consumer suit faces parallel proceedings. A TRO hearing is set for Friday, and Paramount wants a ruling on recusal before that decision.
