State of Ohio vs. Samuel J. Postolski, Case No. B 0304712, Hamilton County Common Pleas Court. Such conduct indicates that you are guilty of a felony or gross immorality, dishonesty or unprofessional conduct in the practice of pharmacy, and/or addicted to or abusing drugs to render you unfit to practice pharmacy within the meaning of Section 4729.16 of the Ohio Revised Code.

Sam J. Postolski neither admits nor denies the allegations stated in the Notice of Opportunity for Hearing letter dated September 10, 2003 and the Addendum Notice Dated December 1, 2003; however, the Board has evidence sufficient to sustain the allegations and hereby adjudicates the same.

(A)	Sam J. Postolski’s license to practice pharmacy will be placed on probation for a period of eighteen months with the following terms:

(1)	Sam J. Postolski’s pharmacist identification card will not be in good standing, thereby denying him the privilege of being a preceptor and training pharmacy interns, pursuant to paragraph (D)(1) of Rule 4729-3-01 of the Ohio Administrative Code.
(2)	Sam J. Postolski may not serve as a responsible pharmacist.
(3)	Sam J. Postolski may not destroy, assist in, or witness the destruction of controlled substances.
(4)	Sam J. Postolski must not violate the drug laws of Ohio, any other state, or the federal government.
(5)	Sam J. Postolski must abide by the rules of the State Board of Pharmacy.

(B)

Sam J. Postolski agrees to the imposition of a monetary penalty of two thousand five hundred dollars ($2,500.00) due and owing within thirty days from the effective date of this Agreement. The monetary penalty should be made payable to the "Treasurer, State of Ohio" and mailed with the enclosed form to the State Board of Pharmacy, 77 South High Street, 17th Floor, Columbus, Ohio 43266-0320.

If, in the judgment of the Board, Sam J. Postolski appears to have violated or breached any terms or conditions of this Agreement, the Ohio State Board of Pharmacy reserves the right to, at any time, revoke probation, modify the conditions of probation, and reduce or extend the period of probation, and/or the Board may institute formal disciplinary proceedings for any and all possible violations or breaches, including but not limited to, alleged violation of the laws of Ohio occurring before the effective date of this Agreement.

Sam J. Postolski acknowledges that he has had an opportunity to ask questions concerning the terms of this agreement and that all questions asked have been answered in a satisfactory manner. Any action initiated by the Board based on alleged violation of this Agreement shall comply with the Administrative Procedure Act, Chapter 119. of the Ohio Revised Code.

Sam J. Postolski waives any and all claims or causes of action he may have against the State of Ohio or the Board, and members, officers, employees, and/or agents of either, arising out of matters which are the subject of this Agreement. Sam J. Postolski waives any rights of appeal pursuant to Chapter 119. of the Ohio Revised Code.

In the event the Board, in its discretion, does not adopt this Agreement as its Adjudication, this settlement offer is withdrawn and shall be of no evidentiary value and shall not be relied upon or introduced in any disciplinary action or appeal by either party. Sam J. Postolski agrees that should the Board reject this Agreement and if this case proceeds to hearing, he will assert no claim that the Board was prejudiced by its review and discussion of this Agreement or of any information relating thereto.

This Settlement Agreement shall be considered a public record, as that term is used in Section 149.43 of the Ohio Revised Code, and shall become effective upon the date of the Board President’s signature below.

FINDING OF FACT

After having heard the testimony, observed the demeanor of the witnesses, considered the evidence, and weighed the credibility of each, the State Board of Pharmacy finds that Vernon A. Infantino has complied with the terms set forth in the Order of the State Board of Pharmacy, Docket No. D-010405-057, effective June 10, 2002.

DECISION OF THE BOARD

On the basis of the Finding of Fact set forth above, and after consideration of the record as a whole, the State Board of Pharmacy hereby approves the reinstatement of the pharmacist identification card, No. 03-3-11610, held by Vernon A. Infantino, to practice pharmacy in Ohio and places Vernon A. Infantino on probation for five years beginning on the effective date of this Order, with the following conditions:

(A) Vernon A. Infantino must, even if he has a current contract, enter into a new contract within thirty days from the effective date of this Order with an Ohio Department of Alcohol and Drug Addiction Services (ODADAS) treatment provider or a treatment provider acceptable to the Board for a period of not less than five years and submit a copy of the new signed contract to the Board office before his pharmacist identification card is issued. The new contract must provide that:

(1) Random, observed urine drug screens shall be conducted at least once each month for the first year and then at least once every three months for the remaining four years.

(a) The urine sample must be given within twelve hours of notification. The urine drug screen must include testing for creatinine or specific gravity of the sample as the dilutional standard.

(b) Pemoline and alcohol must be added to the standard urine drug screen. A Breathalyzer may be used to test for alcohol, but an appropriately certified individual must conduct the test within twelve hours of notification.

(c) Results of all drug screens must be negative. Refusal of a drug screen or a diluted drug screen is equivalent to a positive result. Any positive result, including those that may have resulted from ingestion of food but excluding false positives that resulted from medication legitimately prescribed, indicates a violation of the contract.

(2) The intervener/sponsor shall provide copies of all drug and alcohol screen reports to the Board in a timely fashion.

(3) Attendance is required a minimum of three times per week at an Alcoholics Anonymous, Narcotics Anonymous, and/or similar support group meeting.

(4) The program shall immediately report to the Board any violations of the contract and/or lack of cooperation.

(B) Vernon A. Infantino must submit quarterly progress reports to the Board (due January 10, April 10, July 10, and October 10 of each year of probation) that include:

(1) The written report and documentation provided by the treatment program pursuant to the contract, and

(2) A written description of Vernon A. Infantino's progress towards recovery and what Vernon A. Infantino has been doing during the previous three months.

(C) Other terms of probation are as follows:

(1) The State Board of Pharmacy hereby declares that Vernon A. Infantino's pharmacist identification card is not in good standing and thereby denies the privilege of being a preceptor and training pharmacy interns pursuant to paragraph (D)(1) of Rule 4729-3-01 of the Ohio Administrative Code.

(2) Vernon A. Infantino may not serve as a responsible pharmacist.

(3) Vernon A. Infantino may not destroy, assist in, or witness the destruction of controlled substances.

(4) Vernon A. Infantino must abide by the contract with his treatment provider and must immediately report any violation of the contract to the Board.

(5) Vernon A. Infantino must not violate the drug laws of Ohio, any other state, or the federal government.

(6) Vernon A. Infantino must abide by the rules of the State Board of Pharmacy.

(7) Vernon A. Infantino must comply with the terms of this Order.

(D) Any violation of probation may result in a Board hearing to consider alternative or additional sanctions under Section 4729.16 of the Ohio Revised Code.

(E) If Vernon A. Infantino's pharmacist identification card to practice pharmacy in Ohio is not issued within three years of the effective date of this Order, Vernon A. Infantino must also take and pass the North American Pharmacist Licensure Examination (NAPLEX) or an equivalent examination accepted by the Board.

Vernon A. Infantino is hereby advised that the Board may at any time revoke probation for cause, modify the conditions of probation, and reduce or extend the period of probation. At any time during this period of probation, the Board may revoke probation for a violation occurring during the probation period.
