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, 76 FR 71371–72; Sheran Arden 

Yeates, D.O., 71 FR 39130, 39131 (2006); Dominick 

A. Ricci, D.O., 58 FR 51104, 51105 (1993); Bobby 

Watts, D.O., 53 FR 11919, 11920 (1988); Frederick 

Marsh Blanton, 43 FR 27617. 

According to California statute, 

‘‘dispense’’ means ‘‘to deliver a 

controlled substance to an ultimate user 

or research subject by or pursuant to the 

lawful order of a practitioner, including 

the prescribing, furnishing, packaging, 

labeling, or compounding necessary to 

prepare the substance for that delivery.’’ 

Cal. Health & Safety Code section 11010 

(West 2024). Further, a ‘‘practitioner’’ 

means a person ‘‘licensed, registered, or 

otherwise permitted, to distribute, 

dispense, conduct research with respect 

to, or administer, a controlled substance 

in the course of professional practice or 

research in [the] state.’’ Id. 

section 11026(c). 

Here, the undisputed evidence in the 

record is that Registrant currently lacks 

authority to practice as a physician 

assistant in California. As discussed 

above, an individual must be a licensed 

practitioner to dispense a controlled 

substance in California. Thus, because 

Registrant currently lacks authority to 

practice as a physician assistant in 

California and, therefore, is not 

currently authorized to handle 

controlled substances in California, 

Registrant is not eligible to maintain a 

DEA registration. Accordingly, the 

Agency will order that Registrant’s DEA 

registration be revoked. 

Order 

Pursuant to 28 CFR 0.100(b) and the 

authority vested in me by 21 U.S.C. 

824(a), I hereby revoke DEA Certificate 

of Registration No. MS2342842 issued to 

Charles Sangmoah, P.A. Further, 

pursuant to 28 CFR 0.100(b) and the 

authority vested in me by 21 U.S.C. 

823(g)(1), I hereby deny any pending 

applications of Charles Sangmoah, P.A., 

to renew or modify this registration, as 

well as any other pending application of 

Charles Sangmoah, P.A., for additional 

registration in California. This Order is 

effective October 28, 2024.

Abstract: The LEMAS core survey,

is currently based on a nationally 

representative sample of approximately 

3,500 general-purpose law enforcement 

agencies (LEAs). The 2024 LEMAS has 

been revised to remove questions to 

help reduce burden and increase clarity. 

The LEMAS survey has been used to
