As per Honorable Justice Breyer's opinion in the new United States Supreme Court ruling XIULU RUAN v. UNITED STATES No. 20-1410. Argued March 1, 2022 —Decided June 27, 2022; "a regulation provides that, "to be effective, " a prescription "must be issued for a legitimate medical purpose by an individual practitioner acting in the usual course of his professional practice. " 21 CFR §1306.04(a). We assume, as did the courts below and the parties here, that a prescription is "authorized " and therefore lawful if it satisfies this standard.

Under the light of this Honorable Court, Can Ms. Patricia Solomon, a physician assistant who never prescribed any drug, be convicted under 21 U.S.C. §846 in the Eastern District of Kentucky London Division of conspiracy to distribute oxycodone a controlled substance not "as authorized, " when the medicines were dispensed in accordance with valid prescriptions lawfully signed by a doctor under his prescribing authority capacity?
