MEMORANDUM **

Rustom Ali d/b/a Sonali Diagnostic Laboratory (“SDL”) appeals pro se from the final decision of the Departmental Appeals Board (“DAB”) of the Department of Health and Human Services (“HHS”) upholding the revocation of SDL’s certificate of registration issued under the Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments (“CLIA”) of 1988. We have jurisdiction under 42 U.S.C. § 263a(k)(1). We review for abuse of discretion, Wash. State Health Facilities, Ass’n v. State of Wash., Dept, of Soc. and Health Servs., 879 F.2d 677, 681 (9th Cir. 1989), and we deny the petition.

The DAB did not abuse its discretion by concluding that HHS was authorized to stop SDL testing operations prior to a hearing because HHS’s constituent enforcement division found immediate jeopardy to the public safety due to condition-level deficiencies. See 42 U.S.C. § 263a(i)(2) (conferring authority to suspend or limit the certificate of a lab before holding a hearing when non-compliance poses serious risk to human health); Wash. State Health Facilities, Ass’n., 879 F.2d at 681 (“[A]gency’s interpretation of its own regulations is entitled to a high degree of deference and will be upheld as long as it is not plainly erroneous or inconsistent with the regulation.”).

The DAB did not abuse its discretion by concluding that SDL received the required five-day notice prior to the effective date *212of the sanctions. See 42 C.F.R. § 493.1810(c)(2)(i) (requiring notice at least five days before the effective date of sanction for deficiencies that pose immediate jeopardy).

The DAB did not abuse its discretion by concluding that HHS is authorized to simultaneously impose intermediate and principal sanctions for noncompliance. See 42 C.F.R. § 493.1806(c) (allowing for intermediate sanctions “in addition to” principal sanctions).

PETITION DENIED.
