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 This decision was made because his dental license in Colorado was revoked, and he lacked the necessary state authority to dispense controlled substances.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.

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 U.S. Department of Justice and the Drug Enforcement Administration took action against Dr. David Bockoff, resulting in the revocation of his license to prescribe controlled substances.

Dr. Bockoff did not successfully challenge these findings or take responsibility, leading to the conclusion that his practices were dangerous to public health.
