A doctor who pleaded guilty to selling ketamine to late "Friends" actor Matthew Perry is set to be sentenced in court.

According to the Associated Press , Dr. Salvador Plasencia, who admitted to selling the actor large doses of ketamine, will be sentenced during a hearing on Wednesday.

His lawyers have called a prison sentence 'neither necessary nor warranted.'

Plasencia, 44, is not accused of selling Perry the dose of ketamine that is believed to have killed him on October 28, 2023.

Perry had been taking lower doses of surgical anesthetic ketamine as a treatment for depression and sought more from Plasencia after his doctor denied him the amount he desired. Plasencia admitted to selling Perry higher doses of ketamine despite having knowledge of Perry's substance-abuse problems.
