An appeals court has rejected the Justice Department’s bid to overturn a ruling that cleared the way for AT&T‘s acquisition of Time Warner.
The decision, by a three-judge panel from the US Court of Appeals for the DC Circuit, caps off round two of the protracted legal battle between AT&T and the Justice Department. The Justice Department could decide to ask the full appeals court to hear the case or to appeal the ruling to the Supreme Court.
Time Warner has since been renamed WarnerMedia.
