The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) has decided to revoke the registration of Dr. Kevin Petersen, meaning he can no longer prescribe or handle controlled substances. This decision came after it was found that his medical license in Nevada, where he practiced, had expired and was then revoked, which automatically made him ineligible to maintain his DEA registration for handling such substances. Dr. Petersen did not contest this action by requesting a hearing, leading the DEA to proceed with its final decision. This order will officially take effect on January 29, 2025.

The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) has revoked the DEA registration of Dr. Kim Routh from Grove City, Ohio, because he lost his medical license in Ohio, rendering him unable to legally handle controlled substances. The revocation is based on an Order to Show Cause issued by the DEA, which Dr. Routh did not contest by requesting a hearing. The document states that having a valid state medical license is a crucial requirement for holding a DEA registration, and without it, Dr. Routh cannot continue to administer or prescribe controlled substances. The order also denies any pending applications from Dr. Routh to renew or modify his registration.
