jlentini on PROD1PC65 with NOTICES
Julian A. Abbey, M.D.; Revocation of
Registration
On April 17, 2006, the Deputy
Assistant Administrator, Office of
Diversion Control, Drug Enforcement
Administration, issued an Order to
Show Cause to Julian A. Abbey, M.D.,
(Respondent) of Saugus, Massachusetts.
The Show Cause Order proposed to
revoke Respondent’s DEA Certificate of
Registration, BA4361426, as a
practitioner on two grounds.
First, the Show Cause Order alleged
that Respondent had entered into a
voluntary agreement with the
Massachusetts Board of Registration in
Medicine in which he agreed to cease
the practice of medicine in that State
effective July 30, 2004. Show Cause
Order at 1. The Show Cause Order
further alleged that the agreement
constituted a disciplinary action against
Respondent’s state license. Id.
Second, the Show Cause Order
alleged that on August 4, 2004,
Respondent had submitted an on-line
renewal application for his DEA
registration in which he falsely
indicated that he ‘‘had not been the
subject of any State disciplinary or
licensing action.’’ Id. at 2. The Show
Cause Order further alleged that based
on Respondent’s misrepresentation,
DEA renewed his registration. Id.
VerDate Aug<31>2005

Jkt 211001
On April 21, 2006, the Government
attempted to serve the Show Cause
Order, which also notified Respondent
of his right to request a hearing, by
Certified Mail, Return Receipt
Requested. However, the mailing was
returned unclaimed. Thereafter, on May
18, 2006, the Government served the
Show Cause Order by First Class Mail
to the address of Respondent’s
registered location. Since that time,
neither Respondent, nor any one
purporting to represent him, has
responded. Because (1) more than thirty
days have passed since service of the
Show Cause Order, and (2) no request
for a hearing has been received, I
conclude that Respondent has waived
his right to a hearing. See 21 CFR
1301.43(d). I therefore enter this final
order without a hearing based on
relevant material found in the
investigative file and make the
following findings.
Findings
Respondent holds DEA Certificate of
Registration, BA4361426, which was
initially issued to him on March 15,
1995. On August 3, 2004, Respondent
renewed his registration using the DEA
Internet site. Respondent’s registration
does not expire until June 30, 2007.
On June 25, 2004, Respondent entered
into a ‘‘Voluntary Agreement Not To
Practice Medicine’’ with the
Massachusetts Board of Registration in
Medicine (Board); on July 30, 2004, the
Board accepted the agreement. Under
the agreement, Respondent agreed to
immediately cease practicing medicine
in Massachusetts. Moreover,
Respondent acknowledged that the
agreement constituted ‘‘a voluntary
restriction of my license to practice
medicine and is considered to be a
disciplinary action that is reportable to
any national data reporting system’’
pursuant to Massachusetts law.
Agreement at 1. Respondent also agreed
that ‘‘[a]ny violation of this Agreement
shall be prima facie evidence for
immediate summary suspension of my
license to practice medicine.’’ Id.
Furthermore, according to the Board,
‘‘as a consequence of such an
agreement, a physician may not
prescribe controlled substances.’’
Massachusetts Board of Registration in
Medicine, Press Release (Nov. 9, 2005).
According to the investigative file, on
October 28, 2005, Respondent was
arrested in Lynnfield, Massachusetts,
and charged under state law with the
illegal possession of a class C substance
(hydrocodone bitartrate) with intent to
distribute. According to the file, during
the period following Respondent’s
entering into the voluntary agreement
PO 00000
Frm 00159
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
and his arrest, Respondent obtained
approximately 37,500 tablets of
hydrocodone bitartrate 10mg/650mg.
Thereafter, on November 9, 2005, the
Board summarily suspended
Respondent’s state medical license on
the ground that he posed an immediate
threat to the public safety, health and
welfare. According to online records of
the Board, Respondent’s medical license
remains suspended. See Massachusetts
Board of Registration in Medicine
Physician Profile, Julian Abbey, M.D.
Under Massachusetts law, a physician
must also hold a registration to handle
a controlled substance; the registration
is issued by the State’s Commissioner of
Public Health. See Mass. Gen. Laws ch.
94C, § 7(a). On December 1, 2005, the
Massachusetts Department of Public
Health sent a letter to Respondent
notifying him that he was ‘‘no longer
authorized as a registrant under
[Massachusetts law] to prescribe,
distribute, possess, dispense or
administer controlled substances in the
Commonwealth.’’ Letter from Adele D.
Audet, Assistant Director, Drug Control
Program, Massachusetts Department of
Public Health, to Respondent (Dec. 1,
2005). The letter further advised
Respondent that his state controlled
substances registration would be
terminated unless Respondent produced
evidence of his authority to practice
medicine in the State within thirty days
of his receipt of the letter. A March 28,
2006 letter from the Department of
Public Health to Respondent confirms
that he no longer holds authority under
Massachusetts law to handle controlled
substances. Letter from Patricia
Calvagna-Lusk, Administrative
Coordinator, Massachusetts Department
of Public Health, to Respondent (Mar.
28, 2006).
Discussion
Under the Controlled Substances Act
(CSA), a practitioner must be currently
authorized to handle controlled
substances in ‘‘the jurisdiction in which
he practices’’ in order to maintain a
DEA registration. See 21 U.S.C. 802(21)
(‘‘[t]he term ‘practitioner’ means a
physician * * * licensed, registered, or
otherwise permitted, by * * * the
jurisdiction in which he practices * * *
to distribute, dispense, [or] administer
* * * a controlled substance in the
course of professional practice’’). See
also Id. § 823(f) (‘‘The Attorney General
shall register practitioners * * * if the
applicant is authorized to dispense
* * * controlled substances under the
laws of the State in which he
practices.’’). DEA has held repeatedly
that the CSA requires the revocation of
a registration issued to a practitioner
