The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) has revoked the DEA Certificate of Registration for Herold Pierre-Louis, a physician assistant from Tucson, Arizona. This decision stems from the Arizona Regulatory Board of Physician Assistants revoking Pierre-Louis's license, leaving him unable to legally handle controlled substances in Arizona. The DEA's ruling is based on federal law, which requires practitioners to have state authorization to dispense controlled substances. Without this state license, Pierre-Louis cannot maintain his federal registration, and all pending applications for his registration have been denied.

The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) decided to revoke the DEA Certificate of Registration for Dr. Willard J. Davis, a doctor in Texas, because he lost his state license to practice medicine, which means he can no longer handle controlled substances legally in Texas. The Texas Medical Board suspended Dr. Davis's medical license on May 16, 2024, and it remained suspended at the time of the decision. Since having a valid state medical license is necessary to maintain DEA registration for dispensing controlled substances, his registration was revoked, and any pending applications related to the registration were denied. This decision will be effective starting April 28, 2025.

The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) has revoked the Certificate of Registration of James T. Craig, D.D.S., a dentist from Colorado, meaning he can no longer handle controlled substances. This decision was made because his dental license in Colorado was revoked, and he lacked the necessary state authority to dispense controlled substances. The DEA notified Craig of his right to a hearing, which he opted not to request, resulting in an automatic admission of the allegations against him. Consequently, any pending applications from Craig to renew or modify his registration have also been denied.

In the Federal Register notice titled "Ibrahim Al-Qawaqneh, D.D.S.; Decision and Order," the DEA sought to revoke Dr. Ibrahim Al-Qawaqneh's registration due to his exclusion from federal health care programs after pleading nolo contendere to a charge of offering unlawful Medi-Cal remuneration. Despite being given a chance to defend himself, the DEA found that Dr. Al-Qawaqneh failed to take full responsibility for his actions, which led to doubts about his trustworthiness. Consequently, his DEA Certificate of Registration was revoked to ensure compliance with laws regulating controlled substances.

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 U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) issued an order prohibiting David Huey, a former manager at Titan Inspections, Inc., from participating in NRC-licensed activities for three years. This decision was made because he instructed a radiographer to work without a second qualified person present, which violated NRC regulations. The order requires Huey to immediately cease any NRC-licensed activities and notify the NRC of any new employment in such activities after the prohibition period. Huey and anyone affected by this order have the right to request a hearing within 30 days of its publication in the Federal Register.

The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) has revoked the DEA Certificates of Registration for Lona Bibbs-Walker, D.D.S., after finding that her continued registration would pose an imminent danger to public health and safety. The Georgia Board of Dentistry revoked her authority to practice dentistry, and evidence showed she failed to maintain accurate records and account for controlled substances. Despite these allegations, Dr. Bibbs-Walker did not request a hearing, leading to the default judgment against her and further supporting the DEA's decision to revoke her registrations. The decision highlights the importance of compliance with state and federal regulations for handling controlled substances.

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 a decision to revoke Dr. Robert L. Carter's registration to handle controlled substances. This decision was due to his repeated material falsifications on DEA applications by misrepresenting his disciplinary history, as well as improperly prescribing controlled substances from a New Jersey address without the necessary registration. Despite being given multiple opportunities to comply with prehearing procedures, Dr. Carter failed to do so, which led to the termination of his hearing request. The DEA determined that Carter's actions were inconsistent with the public interest and could not trust him with a registration.

In a decision by the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), Dr. Michael W. Carlton's Certificate of Registration was revoked due to inappropriate prescribing practices. The DEA found that Dr. Carlton issued 40 prescriptions for controlled substances without establishing a proper doctor-patient relationship and without conducting necessary physical exams, which violated federal and Arizona state laws. Dr. Carlton argued that his practice was standard at the outpatient treatment center where he worked, but the DEA's investigation and expert testimony showed that his actions fell below the standard of care. Consequently, the revocation was seen as necessary to protect public interest.
