DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE
Drug Enforcement Administration
[Docket No. 18-31]
Morris & Dickson Co., LLC; Order
On May 19, 2023, I issued and served on the parties a Decision and Order (the Decision and Order) revoking, effective 30 days from the date of publication in the Federal Register , Certificate of Registration Nos. RM0314790 and RM0335732 issued to Morris & Dickson, Co., LLC (Respondent). By motion dated May 20, 2023, Respondent requested a stay of the Decision and Order. On May 21, I issued an order soliciting additional information from Respondent and asking the Government to respond to Respondent's Motion for Stay. On May 22, both parties responded. Respondent clarified that it was requesting a stay of at least 90-to-120 days so that it can renew settlement negotiations with the Government. Respondent's May 22, 2023 Letter re Motion for Stay, at 1. Respondent also stated that a stay was necessary to mitigate the impact on its "customers, employees, and other stakeholders," including pharmacies, hospitals, and patients. Id. at 4-5. The Government indicated that it opposed any stay request, but stated that it was "open to settlement offers" and suggested it was willing to engage in settlement negotiations with Respondent. Government's Opposition to Motion to Stay, at 3.
Upon consideration of the entire record before me, the public interest-in particular, the potential need for Respondent's customers and their patients to find new suppliers given the revocation of Respondent's registrations-and the possibility for renewed settlement negotiations, I hereby order that the May 19, 2023 Decision and Order will be effective on August 28, 2023-ninety days from the date of the Decision and Order's publication in the Federal Register . This change is reflected in the published Decision and Order.
It is so ordered.
