A Denver judge on Friday temporarily blocked the suspensions of four doctors who were the first in the state to be punished for allegedly over-recommending high plant counts to medical marijuana patients.

The doctors, though, won’t be allowed to make official medical marijuana recommendations until their disciplinary cases are resolved.

“It was a fair decision by the judge,” Dr. Robert Maiocco, one of the four suspended doctors, said after a Friday court hearing.
