Attorney General Jennifer Davenport and the Division of Consumer Affairs announced on Apr. 14 that the State Board of Medical Examiners has permanently revoked the license of Edward Lundy, a Camden County physician convicted of conspiring to illegally distribute opioids.
The action comes as New Jersey continues efforts to address the opioid epidemic, with authorities emphasizing their commitment to removing medical professionals who violate laws related to controlled substances. According to the official website, the New Jersey Attorney General Matthew Platkin aims to protect residents’ lives and property, uphold legal standards, and deliver statewide enforcement and legal support according to the official website.
Lundy pleaded guilty in January 2026 in U.S. District Court for New Jersey to conspiring with others to distribute more than 1,600 oxycodone pills outside standard medical practice. He is scheduled for sentencing in May. In a Consent Order filed with the Board, Lundy agreed that his license will be permanently revoked due to repeated acts of gross negligence and professional misconduct involving prescription drugs.
“As New Jersey continues to grapple with the long-term effects of the opioid epidemic, doctors who recklessly prescribe drugs that are known to lead people down the path to addiction cannot be allowed to practice medicine in our state,” said Attorney General Davenport. “We will continue to do everything in our power to permanently remove from practice any law-breaking doctors who helped fuel this public health crisis.”
Jeremy Hollander, Acting Director of the Division of Consumer Affairs said: “Doctors who indiscriminately prescribe CDS pose a danger to the public that we will not tolerate. By pursuing disciplinary actions that help put bad actors like this one out of practice, we are protecting the public and upholding the integrity of New Jersey’s medical profession.”
Documents from Lundy’s case indicate he issued prescriptions for oxycodone between April 2024 and June 2025 without required examinations or screenings. The offense involved about 1,680 oxycodone pills distributed outside legitimate medical purposes.
The terms require Lundy immediately stop all patient contact—including telehealth—and bar him from entering his former office during business hours or having any role overseeing healthcare activities in New Jersey. He must also divest any financial interest tied to practicing medicine within state boundaries.
According to its official website, The New Jersey Attorney General Matthew Platkin extends its services throughout all counties and municipalities while influencing public safety through law enforcement oversight across New Jersey.
The agency also holds statewide authority under its statutory mandate to enforce laws, prosecute offenses, regulate public safety matters; it offers services including legal representation for state agencies as well as victim advocacy initiatives.
As stated on its official website, The Office functions as a state agency focused on justice and public safety—handling regulation and consumer protection throughout New Jersey.
