The United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit affirmed the dismissal of a pharmacy's challenge to a federal agency action. The court found no error in the district court's ruling regarding the suspension of the pharmacy's registration.
Northside Pharmacy, a Texas limited liability company, appealed a district court order that dismissed its claim for declaratory and injunctive relief. The underlying dispute concerned the Drug Enforcement Administration’s suspension of Northside’s Certification of Registration.
The court’s reasoning
Having reviewed the record, the district court order, and the parties’ briefing, the court found no error in the lower court’s decision.
What it means going forward
The affirmation upholds the Drug Enforcement Administration’s suspension of the pharmacy’s registration and denies the pharmacy’s request for judicial intervention.
