Drug Enforcement Administration
David H. Marcowitz, D.O.; Decision and
Order
On January 11, 2023, the Drug
Enforcement Administration (DEA or
Government) issued an Order to Show
Cause (OSC) to David H. Marcowitz,
D.O. (Registrant). Request for Final
Agency Action (RFAA), Exhibit
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 259001
(RFAAX) 2, at 1, 3. The OSC proposed
the revocation of Registrant’s Certificate
of Registration No. FM6860818 at the
registered address of 17019 County
Farm Road, Rushville, Illinois 62681. Id.
at 1. The OSC alleged that Registrant’s
registration should be revoked because
Registrant is ‘‘currently without
authority to handle controlled
substances in Illinois, the state in which
[he is] registered with DEA.’’ Id. at 2
(citing 21 U.S.C. 824(a)(3)).
The OSC notified Registrant of his
right to file with DEA a written request
for hearing, and that if he failed to file
such a request, he would be deemed to
have waived his right to a hearing and
be in default. OSC, at 2 (citing 21 CFR
1301.43). Here, Registrant did not
request a hearing. RFAA, at 1.1 ‘‘A
default, unless excused, shall be
deemed to constitute a waiver of the
registrant’s/applicant’s right to a hearing
and an admission of the factual
allegations of the [OSC].’’ 21 CFR
1301.43(e).
Further, ‘‘[i]n the event that a
registrant . . . is deemed to be in
default . . . DEA may then file a request
for final agency action with the
Administrator, along with a record to
support its request. In such
circumstances, the Administrator may
enter a default final order pursuant to
[21 CFR] § 1316.67.’’ Id. § 1301.43(f)(1).
Here, the Government has requested
final agency action based on Registrant’s
default pursuant to 21 CFR 1301.43(c),
(f). See also id. § 1316.67.
Findings of Fact
The Agency finds that, in light of
Registrant’s default, the factual
allegations in the OSC are admitted.
According to the OSC, on September 9,
2021, both Registrant’s Illinois medical
license and Registrant’s Illinois
controlled substance license were
suspended. RFAAX 2, at 1.
According to Illinois’ online records,
of which the Agency takes official
notice, both Registrant’s Illinois medical
license and Registrant’s Illinois
controlled substance license remain
suspended.2 Illinois Department of
1 Based on the Government’s submissions in its
RFAA dated May 2, 2023, the Agency finds that
service of the OSC on Registrant was adequate.
Specifically, the included Declaration of a DEA
Diversion Investigator asserts that on January 11,
2023, Registrant was personally served with the
OSC at his private residence. RFAAX 3, at 1.
2 Under the Administrative Procedure Act, an
agency ‘‘may take official notice of facts at any stage
in a proceeding—even in the final decision.’’
United States Department of Justice, Attorney
General’s Manual on the Administrative Procedure
Act 80 (1947) (Wm. W. Gaunt & Sons, Inc., Reprint
1979). Pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 556(e), ‘‘[w]hen an
agency decision rests on official notice of a material
fact not appearing in the evidence in the record, a

Financial and Professional Regulation,
License Lookup, https://onlinedfpr.micropact.com/lookup/
licenselookup.aspx (last visited date of
signature of this Order). Therefore, the
Agency finds that Registrant is not
authorized to practice medicine nor to
handle controlled substances in Illinois,
the state in which he is registered with
DEA.
Discussion
Pursuant to 21 U.S.C. 824(a)(3), the
Attorney General is authorized to
suspend or revoke a registration issued
under 21 U.S.C. 823 ‘‘upon a finding
that the registrant . . . has had his State
license or registration suspended . . .
[or] revoked . . . by competent State
authority and is no longer authorized by
State law to engage in the . . .
dispensing of controlled substances.’’
With respect to a practitioner, DEA has
also long held that the possession of
authority to dispense controlled
substances under the laws of the state in
which a practitioner engages in
professional practice is a fundamental
condition for obtaining and maintaining
a practitioner’s registration. See, e.g.,
James L. Hooper, D.O., 76 FR 71371
(2011), pet. for rev. denied, 481 F. App’x
826 (4th Cir. 2012); Frederick Marsh
Blanton, D.O., 43 FR 27616, 27617
(1978).3
party is entitled, on timely request, to an
opportunity to show the contrary.’’ Accordingly,
Registrant may dispute the Agency’s finding by
filing a properly supported motion for
reconsideration of findings of fact within fifteen
calendar days of the date of this Order. Any such
motion and response shall be filed and served by
email to the other party and to the DEA Office of
the Administrator, Drug Enforcement
Administration at dea.addo.attorneys@dea.gov.
3 This rule derives from the text of two provisions
of the Controlled Substances Act (CSA). First,
Congress defined the term ‘‘practitioner’’ to mean
‘‘a physician . . . or other person 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.’’ 21 U.S.C. 802(21). Second, in setting the
requirements for obtaining a practitioner’s
registration, Congress directed that ‘‘[t]he Attorney
General shall register practitioners . . . if the
applicant is authorized to dispense . . . controlled
substances under the laws of the State in which he
practices.’’ 21 U.S.C. 823(g)(1) (this section,
formerly section 823(f), was redesignated as part of
the Medical Marijuana and Cannabidiol Research
Expansion Act, Pub. L. 117–215, 136 Stat. 2257
(2022)). Because Congress has clearly mandated that
a practitioner possess state authority in order to be
deemed a practitioner under the CSA, DEA has held
repeatedly that revocation of a practitioner’s
registration is the appropriate sanction whenever he
is no longer authorized to dispense controlled
substances under the laws of the state in which he
practices. See, e.g., James L. Hooper, 76 FR 71371–
72; Sheran Arden Yeates, D.O., 71 FR 39130, 39131
(2006); Dominick A. Ricci, D.O., 58 FR 51104, 51105

Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 155 / Monday, August 14, 2023 / Notices
Pursuant to the Illinois Controlled
Substances Act, a ‘‘practitioner’’ means
‘‘a physician licensed to practice
medicine in all its branches . . . or
other person licensed, registered, or
otherwise lawfully permitted by the
United States or this State to distribute
[or] dispense . . . a controlled
substance in the course of professional
practice or research.’’ 720 Ill. Comp.
Stat. Ann. 570/102(kk) (2023). Further,
the Illinois Controlled Substances Act
requires that ‘‘[e]very person who
manufactures, distributes, or dispenses
any controlled substances . . . must
obtain a registration issued by the
Department of Financial and
Professional Regulation in accordance
with its rules.’’ Id. 570/302(a).4
Here, the evidence in the record is
that Registrant currently lacks authority
to handle controlled substances in
Illinois because both his Illinois medical
license and his Illinois controlled
substance license are suspended. As
already discussed, a practitioner must
hold a valid controlled substance
license to dispense a controlled
substance in Illinois. Thus, because
Registrant lacks authority to handle
controlled substances in Illinois,
Registrant is not eligible to maintain a
DEA registration. Accordingly, the
Agency will order that Registrant’s DEA
registration be revoked.

Weise Prescription Shop Inc.; Decision
and Order
I. Introduction
On July 7, 2022, the Drug
Enforcement Administration (DEA or
Government) issued an Order to Show
Cause (OSC) to Weise Prescription Shop
Inc. (Respondent).1 OSC, at 1–4. Citing
21 U.S.C. 824(a)(2), the OSC proposes
the revocation of Respondent’s
registration, and the denial of ‘‘any
applications for renewal or modification
of such registration and any
applications for any other DEA
registration,’’ ‘‘because Mr. Gilbert
Weise, Jr. has been convicted of a felony
offense relating to federal controlled
substance laws.’’ 2 Id. at 1.
II. Summary of Proceedings
Respondent timely requested a
hearing. In due course, the Government
submitted a Motion for Summary
Disposition (MSD). Government’s
Notice of Filing of Evidence and Motion
for Summary Disposition (October 28,
2022) (First MSD). Respondent opposed
1 Certificate of Registration No. AW0201474 at the
registered address of 4343 Colonial Avenue,
Jacksonville, Florida 32210. OSC, at 1.
2 According to the OSC, Mr. Gilbert Weise, Jr. is
an owner of Respondent. OSC, at 2. The OSC
alleges that a ‘‘corporate registrant’s registration
‘may be revoked upon a finding that a natural
person who is an owner, officer, key employee, or
an individual who has some responsibility for the
operation of the registrant’s controlled substance
business, has been convicted of a felony offense
relating to controlled substances.’ ’’ Id.
In its Prehearing Statement, Respondent named
Mr. Weise, Jr. as a proposed hearing witness and
stated that he ‘‘has retained counsel to seek to
withdraw his [guilty] plea and further seek
collateral relief’’ due to the Supreme Court’s
opinion in Ruan v. United States, 142 S. Ct. 2370
(2022). Resp. Prehearing, at 4; see also Weise v.
United States of America, No. 2:22–cv–00106 (S.D.
Ga. filed Oct. 7, 2022).

the MSD. Respondent’s Response in
Opposition to Government’s Motion for
Summary Disposition (November 2,
2022) (Resp Opp. to First MSD).
Respondent, among other things, argued
that the Government’s First MSD was
meritless because there are ‘‘questions
of fact involved,’’ there are ‘‘material
facts in dispute,’’ and there is
disagreement as to ‘‘material facts.’’ 3
Resp Opp. to First MSD, at 4.
The Administrative Law Judge (ALJ)
issued her Recommended Rulings,
Findings of Fact, Conclusions of Law,
and Decision granting the Government’s
First MSD on November 16, 2022 (First
RD) and transmitted the record to the
Office of the Administrator on
December 12, 2022. Her transmittal
letter states that no evidentiary hearing
was held, no factual issues were
involved, and neither party filed
Exceptions to the First RD.4
While it was appropriate for the ALJ
to adjudicate the First MSD, the granting
of the First MSD should not have ended
the proceedings. See, e.g., Garrett
Howard Smith, M.D., 83 FR 18882,
18910 (2018). Accordingly, the Agency
remanded the matter for further
proceedings, encouraging the ALJ to
exercise her discretion and to develop
the record to allow for the
determination of an appropriate
sanction. E.g., 21 CFR 1316.50, 1316.65.
On remand, the Government filed
another MSD, a Request for Official
Notice, and a Request to File a
Supplemental Prehearing Statement.
The basis of the Government’s second
MSD (Second MSD) is Respondent’s
lack of legal authority to operate as a
pharmacy in Florida.5 It is Respondent’s
3 For example, Respondent’s opposition argues
that (1) Mr. Weise, Jr.’s ‘‘alleged criminal conviction
. . . related to events occurring from on or about
October 9, 2014 to and including June 13, 2017,’’
(2) Mr. Weise, Jr. ‘‘did not have an ownership
interest’’ in Respondent ‘‘between October 9, 2014
to and including June 13, 2017,’’ (3) the OSC ‘‘seeks
revocation . . . because . . . [Mr. Weise, Jr.] ‘was
a co-owner of Weise and the Pharmacist in Charge
at the time of his illegal activity,’ ’’ and (4) the
Exhibits filed with the Government’s First MSD are
unauthenticated, uncertified, or otherwise
inadmissible. Resp Opp. to First MSD, at 2–3.
4 Though Respondent never filed exceptions, it
did file a ‘‘Motion for Extension of Time to File
Motion for Reconsideration’’ stating that it
‘‘intend[ed] to seek reconsideration or other relief
related to this Order.’’ That motion was denied, but
in so doing, the ALJ pointed out that the deadline
for filing exceptions was after the date through
which Respondent requested an extension. Order
Denying Respondent’s Motion for Extension to File
a Motion for Reconsideration, at n.1.
5 The ALJ granted the Second MSD. Order
Granting the Government’s Second Motion for
Summary Disposition, and Recommended Rulings,

DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE
Drug Enforcement Administration
David H. Marcowitz, D.O.; Decision and Order
On January 11, 2023, the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA or
Government) issued an Order to Show Cause (OSC) to David H. Marcowitz,
D.O. (Registrant). Request for Final Agency Action (RFAA), Exhibit
(RFAAX) 2, at 1, 3. The OSC proposed the revocation of Registrant's
Certificate of Registration No. FM6860818 at the registered address of
17019 County Farm Road, Rushville, Illinois 62681. Id. at 1. The OSC
alleged that Registrant's registration should be revoked because
Registrant is ``currently without authority to handle controlled
substances in Illinois, the state in which [he is] registered with
DEA.'' Id. at 2 (citing 21 U.S.C. 824(a)(3)).
The OSC notified Registrant of his right to file with DEA a written
request for hearing, and that if he failed to file such a request, he
would be deemed to have waived his right to a hearing and be in
default. OSC, at 2 (citing 21 CFR 1301.43). Here, Registrant did not
request a hearing. RFAA, at 1.\1\ ``A default, unless excused, shall be
deemed to constitute a waiver of the registrant's/applicant's right to
a hearing and an admission of the factual allegations of the [OSC].''
21 CFR 1301.43(e).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ Based on the Government's submissions in its RFAA dated May
2, 2023, the Agency finds that service of the OSC on Registrant was
adequate. Specifically, the included Declaration of a DEA Diversion
Investigator asserts that on January 11, 2023, Registrant was
personally served with the OSC at his private residence. RFAAX 3, at
1.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Further, ``[i]n the event that a registrant . . . is deemed to be
in default . . . DEA may then file a request for final agency action
with the Administrator, along with a record to support its request. In
such circumstances, the Administrator may enter a default final order
pursuant to [21 CFR] Sec. 1316.67.'' Id. Sec. 1301.43(f)(1). Here,
the Government has requested final agency action based on Registrant's
default pursuant to 21 CFR 1301.43(c), (f). See also id. Sec. 1316.67.
Findings of Fact
The Agency finds that, in light of Registrant's default, the
factual allegations in the OSC are admitted. According to the OSC, on
September 9, 2021, both Registrant's Illinois medical license and
Registrant's Illinois controlled substance license were suspended.
RFAAX 2, at 1.
According to Illinois' online records, of which the Agency takes
official notice, both Registrant's Illinois medical license and
Registrant's Illinois controlled substance license remain suspended.\2\
Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation, License
Lookup, https://online-dfpr.micropact.com/lookup/licenselookup.aspx
(last visited date of signature of this Order). Therefore, the Agency
finds that Registrant is not authorized to practice medicine nor to
handle controlled substances in Illinois, the state in which he is
registered with DEA.

``[w]hen an agency decision rests on official notice of a material
fact not appearing in the evidence in the record, a party is
entitled, on timely request, to an opportunity to show the
contrary.'' Accordingly, Registrant may dispute the Agency's finding

Discussion
Pursuant to 21 U.S.C. 824(a)(3), the Attorney General is authorized
to suspend or revoke a registration issued under 21 U.S.C. 823 ``upon a
finding that the registrant . . . has had his State license or
registration suspended . . . [or] revoked . . . by competent State

practitioner, DEA has also long held that the possession of authority
to dispense controlled substances under the laws of the state in which
a practitioner engages in professional practice is a fundamental
condition for obtaining and maintaining a practitioner's registration.
