The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) issued an order to revoke the registration of Dr. Thomas Andr'e Endicott, a dentist in Utah, due to his lack of authority to handle controlled substances after his state licenses were revoked. The DEA's decision is based on the fact that a practitioner must have state authority to dispense controlled substances to maintain DEA registration. Dr. Endicott did not respond to the order, which was served to him through various means, including email. Consequently, his DEA Certificate of Registration is revoked, and any pending registration applications he has are denied.
Simple Explanation
Dr. Thomas Endicott, a dentist in Utah, lost his permission to work with special medicines called "controlled substances" because his state licenses were taken away, and because of that, a government group called the DEA has taken away his permission card to use these medicines.
