Earlier this month, Peper's co-defendant Sam Jahani was sentenced to six months in prison,
six months of home detention and 1 year of supervised release.
Jahani and Peper were indicted in 2011 on numerous counts related to their prescribing practices,
which were alleged to have contributed to the deaths of four patients.
Peper worked for Jahani, who formerly operated Urgent Care Inc. clinics in Delta, Montrose and
Grand Junction. They were shut down after a 2009 raid by the Drug Enforcement Administration.
