The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) has decided to revoke the Certificate of Registration for Dr. Henry-Norbert O. Ndekwe after finding that he no longer has a valid medical license to practice in Oklahoma, where he is registered to handle controlled substances. The DEA issued an Order to Show Cause because Dr. Ndekwe's state medical license expired, and he did not request a hearing to contest the findings. Therefore, the DEA concluded that he is not eligible to maintain his registration to dispense controlled substances. This decision will take effect on May 16, 2025, and any pending applications by Dr. Ndekwe to renew or modify his registration are also denied.

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 Michael W. Carlton's Certificate of Registration was revoked due to inappropriate prescribing practices.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.
