The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) issued an Order to Show Cause to Dr. Margaret Sprague, proposing to revoke her Certificate of Registration due to her lack of authority to handle controlled substances in California. This decision followed the revocation of her state medical license by the Medical Board of California. Dr. Sprague did not request a hearing and was deemed in default, admitting the allegations against her. Consequently, the DEA revoked her registration and denied any future applications for registration in California.
Simple Explanation
Dr. Margaret Sprague lost her permission to give out certain medicines in California because she no longer had a valid doctor's license. Without her license, the rules say she can't continue, so now she can't give out those medicines anymore in California.
