BOISE, Idaho (AP) — A federal judge says an Idaho inmate can move forward with his lawsuit against the state even though he's already won a six-figure settlement from the state's prison health care provider.

The inmate says that as a result of the delay in care, he sustained severe and irreversible heart muscle damage.
