Outcome
DEA revoked DEA Certificate of Registration No. AK7830640 effective December 7, 2023, after repeated recordkeeping and storage violations; Wisconsin Veterinary Examining Board disciplined Kaleka in 2018 for the same categories of violations, which recurred and triggered the federal revocation.

Jagjit Kaleka, D.V.M. / Mauston Pet Hospital — DEA Revocation for Repeated Recordkeeping Failures (2018–2023)
Outcome: The DEA revoked DEA Certificate of Registration No. AK7830640 issued to Jagjit Kaleka, D.V.M., owner of Mauston Pet Hospital in Mauston, Wisconsin, effective December 7, 2023, for controlled substance recordkeeping and storage violations discovered during a DEA inspection — violations that mirrored prior discipline imposed by the Wisconsin Veterinary Examining Board in 2018.
Jagjit Kaleka, D.V.M. was the owner of and a veterinarian at Mauston Pet Hospital in Mauston, Wisconsin. In 2018, the Wisconsin Veterinary Examining Board imposed disciplinary action on Kaleka after finding that he had failed to store controlled substances in a securely locked, substantially constructed cabinet, had failed to keep a biennial inventory, and had sold a Schedule III controlled substance to an unregistered individual.
Despite this state-level discipline, when a DEA investigator conducted an inspection at Mauston Pet Hospital, the investigation revealed that similar controlled substance recordkeeping and storage violations had recurred. The DEA issued a Request for Final Agency Action on April 6, 2023. Administrator Anne Milgram signed the final decision on October 31, 2023.
The DEA revoked Kaleka's Certificate of Registration, denied any pending renewal or modification applications, and denied any other pending application for additional DEA registration in Wisconsin. The final Decision and Order was published in the Federal Register on November 7, 2023, effective December 7, 2023.

How Crucible Prevents This
Kaleka was disciplined by the Wisconsin state board in 2018 for storage and recordkeeping failures, yet the same violations recurred and led to federal DEA revocation in 2023. A Crucible compliance system with persistent enforcement hooks and automated annual inventory reconciliation would have documented corrective action completion and prevented the recurrence of violations that the state board identified five years earlier.
