DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE
Drug Enforcement Administration
Victor B. Williams, M.D.; Decision and
Order
On January 21, 2015, the Deputy
Assistant Administrator, Office of
Diversion Control, Drug Enforcement
Administration (DEA), issued an Order
to Show Cause to Victor B. Williams,
M.D. (Respondent), of Little Rock,
Arkansas. GX 1. The Show Cause Order
proposed the revocation of
Respondent’s DEA Certificate of
Registration BW6686464, and the denial
of any pending application to renew or
modify his registration, on the ground
that he lacks authority to handle
controlled substances in Arkansas, the
State in which he is registered with
DEA. Show Cause Order, at 1 (citing 21
U.S.C. 823(f) & 824(a) (3)). Id.
Specifically, the Show Cause Order
alleged that on April 10, 2014, the
Arkansas State Medical Board issued to
Respondent an ‘‘Order and Notice of
Hearing,’’ which revoked his medical
license. Id. The Order then alleged that
as a result of the revocation, Respondent
is without authority to handle
controlled substances in Arkansas, the
State in which he is registered, and
therefore, his registration is subject to
revocation.1 Id. at 1 (citations omitted).
As evidenced by the signed return
receipt card, on January 27, 2015, the
Show Cause Order was served on
Respondent. GX 3. On February 3, 2015,
Respondent, through his counsel, sent a
letter acknowledging receipt of the
Show Cause Order to the Office of
Administrative Law Judges. GX 4.
However, Respondent’s counsel did not
request a hearing on the allegations. See
id. Thereafter, on February 19, 2015, the
Government submitted a Request for
Final Agency Action seeking a final
order revoking Respondent’s
1 The Show Cause Order also notified Respondent
of his right to request a hearing on the allegations
or to submit a written statement in lieu of a hearing,
the procedure for electing either option, and the
consequence of failing to elect either option. Id. at
2 (citing 21 CFR 1301.43).

registration. See Government Request
for Final Agency Action, at 5 (citing 21
CFR 1301.43(e)).
On June 2, 2015, the Government
represented to this office that
Respondent’s registration had expired
on May 31, 2015 because he did not
submit a renewal application at least 45
days before his registration’s expiration
date, as required by the Agency’s
regulation which is applicable to a
registrant who has been served with an
Order to Show Cause. See 21 CFR
1301.36(i). Moreover, according to the
registration records of the Agency (of
which I take official notice, 5 U.S.C.
556(e)), Respondent has not submitted a
renewal application, whether timely or
not, and his registration has been retired
by the Agency. Accordingly, I find that
Respondent’s registration expired on
May 31, 2015 and that there is no
application pending before the Agency.
It is well settled that ‘‘[i]f a registrant
has not submitted a timely renewal
application prior to the expiration date,
then the registration expires and there is
nothing to revoke.’’ Ronald J. Riegel, 63
FR 67132, 67133 (1998); see also
William W. Nucklos, 73 FR 34330
(2008). Furthermore, because
Respondent did not file a renewal
application, there is no application to
act upon. See Nucklos, 73 FR at 34330.
Accordingly, because there is neither a
registration, nor an application, to act
upon, I hold that this case is now moot.
Order
Pursuant to the authority vested in me
by 21 U.S.C. 824(a), as well as 28 CFR
0.100(b), I order that the Order to Show
Cause issued to Victor B. Williams,
M.D., be, and it hereby is, dismissed.
Dated: August 10, 2015.

Acting Administrator.
