the linked article includes mention of the Anna Nicole case. Jean Rosenbluth sums up LA’s position on phoning in prescriptions, prescribing from other states, etc.

exerpt:
Brown handed the investigation over to the Los Angeles district attorney’s office, which filed charges of conspiring to provide Smith with prescription drugs.

Brown said the suspects broke the law because Smith was a “known addict.” The former boyfriend and doctors denied the charges.

Jean Rosenbluth, a University of Southern California law professor, said the agency’s involvement in the Jackson case suggests authorities are looking into whether drugs came from out of state.

-snip - Federal drug regulations include controls over whether and how frequently a doctor can write prescriptions over the phone, and DEA agents could be looking to see if these rules were broken, Rosenbluth said.

“You can’t just get on the phone and continue to prescribe something for someone without having seen them for a long period of time,” she said.
