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) 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.
