POCATELLO, Idaho (AP) — A judge has sentenced an Idaho doctor to seven months in prison for receipt and delivery of misbranded breast implants given to patients. Prosecutors announced Thursday that 55-year-old Temp Ray Patterson was also sentenced to one year of supervised release after his prison sentence. The former Burley doctor was also ordered to pay $8,200 of restitution and a $10,000 fine. Court documents say he mislead patients into wrongly believing the implants were federally approved.

The Idaho Press reports that after meeting with attorneys on Thursday, board chairman Darrell Kerby announced the rule was being vacated because it only had three affirmative votes when enacted last spring, instead of the required four votes.
