N.C.P.I.—Crim. 260.85
FELONIOUS USE OF CONTROLLED SUBSTANCES REPORTING SYSTEM– UNAUTHORIZED [DISCLOSURE] [DISSEMINATION]. FELONY.
The defendant has been charged with feloniously using the
controlled substances reporting system to knowingly and intentionally
disclose or disseminate prescription information for an unauthorized
purpose.
For you to find the defendant guilty of intentionally disclosing or
disseminating information from the controlled substances reporting
system for an unauthorized purpose, the State must prove three things
beyond a reasonable doubt.
First, that the defendant was authorized to access data in the
controlled substances reporting system.1
Second, that defendant knowingly and intentionally disclosed or
disseminated prescription information.
And Third, that defendant disclosed or disseminated this
information for an unauthorized purpose.2 (Describe activity) would be an
unauthorized purpose.
If you find from the evidence beyond a reasonable doubt that on or
about the alleged date the defendant was authorized to access the data
in the controlled substances reporting system, and that the defendant
knowingly and intentionally disclosed or disseminated prescription
information for an unauthorized purpose, it would be your duty to return a
verdict of guilty. If you do not so find, or if you have a reasonable doubt
as to one or more of these things, it would be your duty to return a
verdict of not guilty.
