The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) issued an Order to Show Cause to Dr. Matthew Okeke, who is based in Nevada. This order proposed revoking his DEA registration because he no longer has a valid state license or authority to handle controlled substances in Nevada. Dr. Okeke did not respond to the order, leading the DEA to proceed with final agency action to revoke his registration. The decision was signed by DEA Administrator Anne Milgram and is set to take effect on January 29, 2025.
