Cause (OSC) to Matthew Okeke, M.D., of
Las Vegas, Nevada (Registrant). Request
for Final Agency Action (RFAA),
Exhibit (RFAAX) 1, at 1, 3. The OSC
proposed the revocation of Registrant’s
Certificate of Registration No.
FO4173845, alleging that Registrant’s
registration should be revoked because
Registrant is ‘‘currently without
authority to handle controlled
substances in Nevada, 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 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. Id. (citing 21 CFR1301.43).
Here, Registrant did not request a
hearing. RFAA, at 2.1 ‘‘A default, unless

RFAA dated April 16, 2024, the Agency finds that
service of the OSC on Registrant was adequate. The
included declaration from a DEA Diversion

2024, the DI left a copy of the OSC at Registrant’s
registered address. RFAAX 2, at 2. On the same
date, the DI emailed a copy of the OSC to
Registrant’s registered email address and to
Registrant’s attorney. Id. at 2; see also id.,

mailed to Registrant’s residential address, with

Further, ‘‘[i]n the event that a
registrant . . . is deemed to be in

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
also id., Attachments D–E. Finally, on February 28,
2024, the DI left another copy of the OSC at
Registrant’s residential address. Id. at 2–3. The
Agency finds that Registrant was successfully
served the OSC by email on February 26, 2024, as
the emails to Registrant’s registered email address
and to Registrant’s attorney were not returned as
undeliverable. Mohammed S. Aljanaby, M.D., 82 FR

‘‘‘reasonably calculated, under all the

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, Registrant’s
Nevada medical license is inactive.
RFAAX 1, at 1. Further, on January 17,
2024, Registrant’s Nevada controlled
substance registration was revoked. Id.
at 2. According to Nevada online
records, of which the Agency takes
official notice, Registrant’s Nevada
medical license and Nevada controlled
substance registration are currently
listed as ‘‘Inactive-Probation’’ and
‘‘Inactive’’ respectively.2 Nevada State

Accordingly, the Agency finds that
Registrant is not licensed to practice
medicine nor to handle controlled
substances in Nevada, 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

agency ‘‘may take official notice of facts at any stage

United States Department of Justice, Attorney

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
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

a practitioner’s registration. Gonzales v.
Oregon, 546 U.S. 243, 270 (2006) (‘‘The
Attorney General can register a
physician to dispense controlled
substances ‘if the applicant is
authorized to dispense . . . controlled
substances under the laws of the State
in which he practices.’ . . . The very
definition of a ‘practitioner’ eligible to
prescribe includes physicians ‘licensed,
registered, or otherwise permitted, by
the United States or the jurisdiction in
which he practices’ to dispense
controlled substances. § 802(21).’’). The
Agency has applied these principles
consistently. See, e.g., James L. Hooper,
M.D., 76 FR 71371, 71372 (2011), pet.
for rev. denied, 481 F. App’x 826 (4th
Cir. 2012); Frederick Marsh Blanton,
M.D., 43 FR 27616, 27617 (1978).3
According to Nevada statute, ‘‘[e]very
practitioner or other person who
dispenses any controlled substance
within th[e] State or who proposes to
engage in the dispensing of any
controlled substance within th[e] State
shall obtain biennially a registration
issued by the [Nevada State Board of
Pharmacy] in accordance with its
regulations.’’ Nev. Rev. Stat.
§ 453.226(1) (2023). Further, according
to Nevada statute, ‘‘dispense’’ means ‘‘to
deliver a controlled substance to an
ultimate user, patient or research subject
by or pursuant to the lawful order of a
practitioner, including the prescribing,
administering, packaging, labeling or
compounding necessary to prepare the
substance for that delivery.’’ Id. at
§ 453.056(1).
Here, the undisputed evidence in the
record is that Registrant lacks authority
to dispense controlled substances in
Nevada because his Nevada controlled
substance registration is inactive. As
discussed above, an individual must
3 This rule derives from the text of two provisions
of the 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). 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, M.D., 76 FR at 71,371–72; Sheran
Arden Yeates, M.D., 71 FR 39,130, 39,131 (2006);

hold a Nevada controlled substance
registration to dispense a controlled
substance in Nevada. Thus, because
Registrant lacks authority to handle
controlled substances in Nevada,
Registrant is not eligible to maintain a
DEA registration. Accordingly, the
Agency will order that Registrant’s DEA
registration be revoked.

Drug Enforcement Administration
Matthew Okeke, M.D.; Decision and Order
On February 14, 2024, the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA or
Government) issued an Order to Show Cause (OSC) to Matthew Okeke, M.D.,
of Las Vegas, Nevada (Registrant). Request for Final Agency Action
(RFAA), Exhibit (RFAAX) 1, at 1, 3. The OSC proposed the revocation of
Registrant's Certificate of Registration No. FO4173845, alleging that
Registrant's registration should be revoked because Registrant is
``currently without authority to handle controlled substances in
Nevada, 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 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. Id.
(citing 21 CFR1301.43). Here, Registrant did not request a hearing.
RFAA, at 2.\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
April 16, 2024, the Agency finds that service of the OSC on
Registrant was adequate. The included declaration from a DEA
Diversion Investigator (DI) indicates that on February 26, 2024, the
DI left a copy of the OSC at Registrant's registered address. RFAAX
2, at 2. On the same date, the DI emailed a copy of the OSC to
Registrant's registered email address and to Registrant's attorney.
Id. at 2; see also id., Attachment C. On February 27, 2024, the OSC
was mailed to Registrant's residential address, with delivery
confirmed on March 2, 2024. Id. at 2; see also id., Attachments D-E.
Finally, on February 28, 2024, the DI left another copy of the OSC
at Registrant's residential address. Id. at 2-3. The Agency finds
that Registrant was successfully served the OSC by email on February
26, 2024, as the emails to Registrant's registered email address and
to Registrant's attorney were not returned as undeliverable.
Mohammed S. Aljanaby, M.D., 82 FR 34,552, 34,552 (2017) (finding
that service by email satisfies due process where the email is not
returned as undeliverable and other methods have been unsuccessful).
The Agency finds that the DI's efforts to serve Registrant by other
means were ```reasonably calculated, under all the circumstances, to
apprise [Registrant] of the pendency of the action.''' Jones v.
Flowers, 547 U.S. 220, 226 (2006) (quoting Mullane v. Central
Hanover Bank & Trust Co., 339 U.S. 306, 314 (1950)). Therefore, due
process notice requirements have been satisfied.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
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), 1301.46. RFAA, at 1; see also 21 CFR 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,
Registrant's Nevada medical license is inactive. RFAAX 1, at 1.
Further, on January 17, 2024, Registrant's Nevada controlled substance

final decision.'' United States Department of Justice, Attorney
General's Manual on the Administrative Procedure Act 80 (1947) (Wm.

``[w]hen an agency decision rests on official notice of a material

entitled, on timely request, to an opportunity to show the

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

With respect to a practitioner, DEA has also long held that the
