DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE

Drug Enforcement Administration
[Docket No. 97-8]


Leonard E. Reaves III, M.D.; Reinstatement of Registration

    On August 13, 1998, the then-Acting Deputy Administrator of the 
Drug Enforcement Administration (DA) issued a final order revoking DEA 
Certificate of Registration AR2127377 issued to Leonard E. Reaves III, 
M.D. (Respondent), effective September 18, 1998. See 63 FR 44,471 
(August 19, 1998). The then-Acting Deputy Administrator further ordered 
that the revocation be stayed for six months from the effective date of 
the order ``during which time Respondent must present evidence to the 
Acting Deputy Administrator of his completion of a training course 
regarding controlled substances, and of his ongoing treatment for his 
codependency problems [and] must request modification, if necessary, of 
his 1995 renewal application to accurately reflect what schedules he 
wishes to be registered in to effectively treat his patient 
population.'' Id.
    The then-Acting Deputy Administrator noted that should Respondent 
submit this information in a timely fashion, a subsequent order would 
be issued indicating that the conditions have been met, and reinstating 
and renewing Respondent's DEA Certificate of Registration. The then-
Acting Deputy Administrator further noted that should Respondent fail 
to provide this information in a timely manner, the stay would be 
removed and Respondent's DEA Certificate of Registration would be 
revoked and any pending applications for renewal would be denied.
    By order dated April 1, 1999, the Deputy Administrator found that 
more than six months had passed since the effective date of the final 
order regarding Respondent's DEA Certificate of Registration, and 
Respondent had not presented any evidence to the Deputy Administrator 
of his completion of a training course regarding controlled substances 
or of his ongoing treatment for his codependency problems. See 64 FR 
17,416 (April 9, 1999). In addition, the order indicated that the 
Deputy Administrator had not received a request from Respondent to 
modify his 1995 renewal application. As a result, the Deputy 
Administrator ordered that effective May 10, 1999, the stay would be 
removed and Respondent's DEA Certificate of Registration would be 
revoked.
    It has recently come to the Deputy Administrator's attention that 
while Respondent did not submit the required information to the Deputy 
Administrator as directed by the August 13, 1998 final order, he did 
submit such information to other offices within DEA in a timely manner. 
Therefore, the Deputy Administrator concludes that Respondent has in 
fact met the conditions set forth in the August 13, 1908 final order, 
and as a result the April 1, 1999 final order removing the stay and 
revoking Respondent's DEA Certificate of Registration effective May 10, 
1999 is rescinded. The Deputy Administrator further concludes that DEA 
Certificate of Registration AR2127377 shall be reinstated and renewed 
in Schedules, II, IIN, III, IIIN, IV and V. Respondent is reminded that 
he is required to indicate that there has been taken against his DEA 
Certificate of Registration in response to the liability question on 
any future applications.
    Accordingly, the Deputy Administrator of the Drug Enforcement 
Administration, pursuant to the authority vested in him by 21 U.S.C. 
823 and 824 and 28 CFR 0.100(b) and 0.104, hereby orders that the April 
1, 1999 final order found at 64 FR 17,416 (April 9, 1999), be and it 
hereby is rescinded. The Deputy Administrator further orders that DEA 
Certificate of Registration AR2127377, issued to Leonard E. Reaves III, 
M.D., be, and it hereby is, reinstated and renewed in Schedules II, 
IIN, III, IIIN, IV and V. This order is effective April 21, 1999.

    Dated: April 15, 1999.
Donnie R. Marshall,
Deputy Administrator.
