A DC Superior Court judge mandated May 1 that the DC Department of Corrections allow an inmate to have a medical consultation.

Gregory Toran is charged with assault with a dangerous weapon.

Judge Todd Edelman ordered that the DC DOC allow Toran to have a medical consultation within an “appropriate timeframe.”

On April 27, the case was continued because the DC DOC needed to provide the judge and defense counsel with information about the defendant’s medical treatment.

Toran is scheduled for a preliminary hearing on May 18.
