The Agency notes his DEA registration had expired on November 30, 2023, and the revocation order is effective May 16, 2025.

The record includes admissions that he provided secure log-in credentials to an individual (T.C.) who self-issued prescriptions for lorazepam and diazepam (Schedule IV) and dextroamphetamine-amphetamine (Schedule II), and that he fraudulently issued multiple oxycodone 30 mg (Schedule II) prescriptions, including five in C.G.'s name.
