Show Cause to Tim’s Wholesale 

(Respondent) of Baton Rouge, Louisiana. 

The Show Cause Order proposed the

into the illicit manufacture of 

methamphetamine, a schedule II 

controlled substance. Id. at 1–2. The 

Show Cause Order alleged that during a 

pre-registration investigation, Mr. Tran 

stated to DEA Diversion Investigators 

(DIs) that his business distributes candy, 

snacks, cigarettes and novelties to 

‘‘approximately 250 convenience 

stores.’’ Id. at 2. The Show Cause Order
