business. The Deputy Administrator
notes that the DEA registers many mail
order and high volume retail
pharmacies that dispense quantities of
controlled substances far in excess of
those distributed by the Respondent.
These pharmacies also ship nationwide
as does the Respondent. They differ
from the Respondent, however, because
they dispense controlled substances
directly to the patient or ultimate user.
These retail pharmacies do not
manufacture or even compound the
majority of the controlled substances
that they handle. They do not distribute
controlled substances to physicians and
other practitioners. The Respondent’s
high volume and out-of-state shipping
are included as descriptions of the
nature of its business.
The Respondent also objects to the
Administrative Law Judge’s use of a
DEA Report of Investigation, which was
entered into evidence, as the source of
many factual findings in the ALJ’s
Findings of Fact. While the report is the
record of a diversion investigator’s
findings, those conclusions are
supported by the records submitted into
evidence by both the agency and the
Respondent. The Deputy Administrator
does not accord significant weight to the
many recordkeeping violations cited in
the report and the Order to Show Cause.
The primary focus of this decision rests
on the Respondent’s acting outside the
scope of its DEA registration even after
being advised that it was doing so by
DEA. The facts supporting this
conclusion are not in dispute.
The Deputy Administrator concludes
that the Respondent’s activities of
manufacturing and distributing
controlled substances without the
appropriate DEA Certificate of
Registration, of its continued activity
even when advised by the agency in
writing that its activities were in
violation of the statute, demonstrate that
the Respondent’s continued registration
with DEA is inconsistent with the
public interest. The Respondent is
distributing more than one million
dosage units of controlled substances a
year to customers across the country.
Because it is not registered as a
manufacturer or distributor of
controlled substances, it is not subject to
the security and recordkeeping
requirements for that type of registrant.
The evidence in the record documents
two thefts of controlled substances from
the Respondent during 2002. Security
requirements for dispensers of
controlled substances are fairly minimal
and include that the controlled
substances may be intermingled with
non-controlled substances. No type of
alarm system is required. Manufacturers

of controlled substances are required to
store Schedule III through V raw
materials, bulk materials awaiting
processing, and finished products in a
safe, vault, a building, room or caged
area with limited access and selfclosing, self-locking doors. These areas
must be equipped with an electronic
alarm system which is connected to a
central station. Recordkeeping and
reporting requirements required of
manufacturers are much more stringent
than those for dispensers of controlled
substances.
Accordingly, the Deputy
Administrator of the DEA, pursuant to
the authority vested in her by 21 U.S.C.
823 and 824 and 28 CFR 0.100(b) and
0.014, hereby orders that DEA
Certificate of Registration AW1289126,
issued to Wedgewood Village Pharmacy,
be, and is, hereby revoked. The Deputy
Administrator further orders that any
pending application for renewal or
modification of such registration be, and
they hereby are, denied.
This order is effective May 3, 2006.
Dated: March 22, 2006.
Michele M. Leonhart,
Deputy Administrator.
