Freddie Thompson will go on trial in November for assault and threats to kill.
Thomspon, 44, is charged with three separate offences including assault causing harm and two allegations of making threats to kill in Portlaoise Prison on separate dates in 2022.
He appeared via video link before Mullingar Circuit Court.
Cathal Ó Braonáin BL, appearing for the prosecution, stated that the matter had been adjourned for inquiries into disclosure and that no further disclosure issues arise.
He said that it was simply matter to fix a trial date.
"I understand 19 November is available in Tullamore Circuit Court, and I would ask that you make the witness and exhibits order," Mr Ó Braonáin said.
The defence agreed that was the position.
Judge Keenan Johnson adjourned the case for trial on 19 November and granted the witness and exhibits order, along with a production order.
