DEA Judge Overseeing Cannabis Rescheduling Hearing Set to Retire
July 23, 2025
The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) judge who was tasked with overseeing a Biden administration proposal to reschedule cannabis is set to retire on Aug. 1.
John J. Mulrooney II, the agency’s chief administrative law judge, notified the hearing’s designated participants on July 23 that he will no longer have jurisdiction over the case come the end of next week.
“My retirement will leave the DEA with no Administrative Law Judge to hear this matter or any of the Agency’s other pending administrative enforcement cases,” Mulrooney wrote. “The Controlled Substances Act requires that DEA administrative enforcement hearing proceedings must be conducted in accordance with the Administrative Procedure Act and presided over by an Administrative Law Judge.”
This is a developing story and will be updated shortly.
