Wisniewski v. Frommer, PICS Case No. 16-0841 (Pa. Super. June 16, 2016) (memorandum) Stabile, J. (7 pages).
Trial court erred in denying prisoner’s motion for a continuance to obtain medical records and expert medical witnesses in prisoner’s challenge to court’s order dissolving an injunction requiring doctors to continue prisoner’s non-opioid pain medication to treat his back pain because trial court relied on prisoner’s failure to provide medical evidence in dissolving the injunction, thus the decision to deny the continuance was manifestly unreasonable and an abuse of discretion. Vacated and remanded.
