DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE 

Drug Enforcement Administration 

Jovencio L. Raneses, M.D.; Denial of 

Application 

On August 28, 2009, the Deputy 

Assistant Administrator, Office of 

Diversion Control, Drug Enforcement 

Administration, issued an Order to 

Show Cause to Jovencio L. Raneses, 

M.D. (Respondent), of San Diego, 

California. The Show Cause Order 

proposed the revocation of 

Respondent’s DEA Certificate of 

Registration, BR5257907, which 

authorized him to dispense controlled 

substances in schedules II through V as 

a practitioner, and the denial of any 

pending applications to renew or 

modify his registration, on the ground 

that Respondent lacks authority to 

handle controlled substances in 

California, the State in which he is 

registered. Show Cause Order at 1 

(citing 21 U.S.C. 823(f) & 824(a)(3)). The 

Order further notified Respondent of his 

rights to contest the action under 21 

CFR 1301.43(a) & (c), and that if he 

failed to request a hearing, he would be 

deemed to have waived his right to a 

hearing. Show Cause Order at 2. 

As evidenced by the signed return 

receipt card, on August 31, 2009, the 

Government served the Show Cause 

Order on Respondent by certified mail 

to his residence in San Marcos, 

California. GX B. Since that time, 

neither Respondent, nor anyone 

purporting to represent him, has either 

requested a hearing on the allegations or 

submitted a written statement in lieu of 

a hearing. Accordingly, I find that 

Respondent has waived both his right to 

a hearing and his right to submit a 

written statement in lieu of a hearing. 

See 21 CFR 1301.43(d). I therefore enter 

this Decision and Final Order without a 

hearing based on evidence contained in 

the record submitted by the 

Government. I make the following 

findings. 

Findings 

Respondent previously held DEA 

Certificate Registration, BR5257907, 

which authorized him to dispense 

controlled substances in schedules 2N, 

3N, 4 and 5, as a practitioner, at the 

registered location of 1666 Garnet 

Avenue, # 708, San Diego, California. 

GX E, at 1. On May 1, 2003, Respondent 

last renewed this registration; the 

registration was assigned an expiration 

date of April 30, 2006. Id. On September 

27, 2006, nearly five months after the 

registration expired, Respondent 

submitted an application to renew this 

registration. Id. Based on the above, I 

find that Respondent has a current 

application before the Agency. 

However, I conclude that because 

Respondent did not file a timely 

application to renew the registration, 

the registration has not remained in 

effect pending the issuance of the Final 

Order in this matter. See 5 U.S.C. 558(c) 

(‘‘When the licensee has made timely 

and sufficient application for a renewal 

or a new license in accordance with 

agency rules, a license with reference to 

an activity of a continuing nature does 

not expire until the application has been 

finally determined by the agency.’’) 

(emphasis added). 

Respondent also previously held 

Physician’s and Surgeon’s Certificate 

No. C37687, which was issued by the 

Medical Board of California. See In re 

Jovencio L. Raneses, M.D., Default 

Decision and Order, at 1 (Med. Bd. of 

Cal., Jan. 27, 2009). However, the 

certificate expired on April 30, 2007, 

and was not renewed. Id. Moreover, on 

May 27, 2008, the Executive Director of 

the Board filed an accusation against 

Respondent alleging that he failed to 

comply with the Board’s order of 

February 26, 2008 that he submit to 

psychiatric and physical examinations 

no later than 30 days from the date of 

the order. In re Jovencio L. Raneses, 

M.D., Accusation at 4–5. Based on 


jlentini on DSKJ8SOYB1PROD with NOTICES
11564 Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 47 / Thursday, March 11, 2010 / Notices 

Respondent’s failure to file a Notice of 

Defense to the Accusation within fifteen 

days as required by California law, the 

Board found that Respondent was in 

default and that the allegations of the 

accusation were true. Default Decision 

and Order, at 3–4. The Board then 

ordered that Respondent’s Physician’s 

and Surgeon’s Certificate be revoked 

effective on February 26, 2009. Id. at 5. 

Moreover, according to the online 

records of the Board, Respondent’s state 

license remains revoked. 

Discussion 

Under the Controlled Substances Act 

(CSA), a practitioner must be currently 

authorized to handle controlled 

substances ‘‘under the laws of the State 

in which he practices’’ in order to obtain 

and maintain a DEA registration. See 21 

U.S.C. 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.’’). See also id. § 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’’). As these 

provisions make plain, possessing 

authority under state law to handle 

controlled substances is an essential 

condition for holding a DEA 

registration. 

Because Respondent’s California 

medical license has been revoked, he is 

without authority under state law to 

handle controlled substances and thus 

does not meet a fundamental statutory 

requirement for obtaining a new 

registration. See 21 U.S.C. 823(f); see 

also Richard Carino, M.D., 72 FR 71955, 

71956 (2007). Accordingly, his 

application for a new DEA registration 

must be denied. 

Order 

Pursuant to the authority vested in me 

by 21 U.S.C. 823(f), as well as 28 CFR 

0.100(b) & 0.104, I order that the 

application of Jovencio L. Raneses, 

M.D., for a DEA Certificate of 

Registration, be, and it hereby is, 

denied. This Order is effective April 12, 

2010. 

Dated: March 3, 2010.

Deputy Administrator.
