NEW YORK (Reuters) - A magistrate judge on the states' attorneys general fight against the merger of Sprint and T-Mobile US said on Thursday the trial will be delayed to Dec. 9.

More than a dozen states and the District of Columbia have sued to stop the deal, which the U.S. Justice Department has signed off on.
