A judge granted a defendant’s release after receiving more information about his medical condition.

Devonte Jafferson pleaded guilty to unlawful possession of a firearm with a prior conviction, possession of an unregistered firearm and unlawful possession of ammunition on Jan. 5.

The order was originally denied on April 7 by Judge Neal Kravitz.

Jafferson is scheduled for sentencing on Aug. 21.
