The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) issued an Order to Show Cause to Laura M. Bellew, a nurse practitioner from New Mexico, proposing to revoke her DEA registration because she no longer has the authority to handle controlled substances in New Mexico. This is because her nursing licenses were suspended by the New Mexico State Board of Nursing in January 2023. Bellew did not request a hearing to contest the charges, effectively admitting the DEA's allegations. As a result, the DEA decided to revoke her registration and deny any pending applications related to controlled substances in New Mexico.

The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) issued an order to revoke the DEA registration of Robert Esser, D.D.S., from Erie, Pennsylvania, because his dental license is suspended, making him unable to legally handle controlled substances in Pennsylvania. Dr. Esser did not request a hearing to contest this, leading to his default according to DEA rules. The DEA has denied any pending applications for Dr. Esser to renew or modify his registration, effective January 29, 2025. Consequently, Dr. Esser is not permitted to dispense controlled substances as he does not meet the legal requirements set by the state and DEA regulations.

The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) sought to revoke two registrations of Jason Weakley, a registered nurse and advanced practice registered nurse, because he was not authorized to handle controlled substances in Vermont and New Hampshire. Weakley's nursing licenses in both states had expired and remained suspended. He was informed of his right to a hearing but did not request one, leading to a default judgment against him. Consequently, the DEA revoked his registrations, preventing him from handling controlled substances and from renewing or applying for new registrations in these states.

The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) decided to revoke the registration of Neumann's Pharmacy, LLC, after finding that it repeatedly failed to ensure controlled substance prescriptions were issued for legitimate medical purposes and did not document resolutions of red flags like drug interactions and cash payments. The pharmacy also improperly filled prescriptions written by the owner’s father, which violates Louisiana law. Despite given opportunities, the pharmacy did not fully acknowledge its mistakes or demonstrate it corrected them, leading to concerns about its ability to responsibly handle controlled substances in the future. The agency emphasized the importance of deterrence and the severity of the misconduct, ultimately leading to revocation of the pharmacy's DEA registration.

The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) is revoking the registration of Dr. Harvey Leslie, which allowed him to handle controlled substances. This is because his medical license in Georgia has been revoked, and he can no longer practice medicine or legally handle controlled substances there. Since having a valid state license is necessary to maintain DEA registration for handling controlled substances, Dr. Leslie's registration is being revoked, effective April 28, 2025. The decision was signed by the Acting Administrator, Derek Maltz, on March 20, 2025.

The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) has revoked the DEA registration of Dr. Victor Augusto Silva from Tampa, Florida, due to his failure to comply with federal and state laws regarding controlled substances. The DEA found that Dr. Silva allowed an unauthorized individual to use his registration to issue prescriptions for controlled substances, which is against the law. As Dr. Silva did not adequately respond to the charges or demonstrate he can be trusted with prescribing controlled substances, the DEA determined his continued registration would not serve the public interest. As a result, his registration was revoked, and any pending applications for registration in Florida were denied.
