Order to Show Cause (hereinafter, OSC), at 1.

VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:34 Oct 29, 2018 Jkt 247001 In a Declaration dated April 27, 2018, a Diversion Investigator (hereinafter, DI), who describes herself as being assigned to the DEA Boston Field Division-Manchester (New Hampshire) District Office, states that after two unsuccessful attempts at serving the OSC on Registrant, she and two Task Force Officers traveled to the residence of Registrant on February 16, 2018, and ‘‘[a]fter displaying our credentials to Dr. Knight, I presented the original copy of the . . . [OSC] to Dr. Knight.’’ (Government Exhibit (hereinafter, GX) 8 at 2–3 (Declaration of DEA Diversion Investigator). In its Request for Final Agency Action dated May 3, 2018, the Government represents that ‘‘[m]ore than 30-days have passed since Registrant received the . . .

The Government requests the issuance of a Final Order revoking Registrant’s DEA registration. Id. at 4. PO 00000 Frm 00049 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 Based on the DI’s Declaration, the Government’s written representations, and my review of the record, I find that the Government personally served the OSC on Registrant on February 16, 2018. I also find that more than 30 days have now passed since the date the Government served the OSC. Further, based on the Government’s written representations, I find that neither Registrant, nor anyone purporting to represent him, requested a hearing, submitted a written statement while waiving Registrant’s right to a hearing, or submitted a corrective action plan. Accordingly, I find that Registrant has waived his right to a hearing and his right to submit a written statement and corrective action plan. 21 CFR 1301.43(d) and 21 U.S.C. 824(c)(2)(C). I, therefore, issue this Decision and Order based on the record submitted by the Government, which constitutes the entire record before me. 21 CFR 1301.43(e).
