JOSEPH LOUIS DURAN, Plaintiff, v. DENEEN CRANDELL, PSY. D., and SGT. LEE MARTINEZ, RETIRED, Defendants.
Magistrate Judge Kathleen M. Tafoya
MINUTE ORDER
ORDER ENTERED BY MAGISTRATE JUDGE KATHLEEN M. TAFOYA
This matter is before the court on Plaintiff's "Motion for Court Assistance with Legal Mail Processing Denials." (Doc. No. 88, filed Sept. 16, 2011.) It appears that Plaintiff seeks an order requiring that certain San Carlos Correctional Facility correctional officers process Plaintiff's legal mail at his request so that it may be received by this court.
Plaintiff's Motion (Doc. No. 88) is DENIED. The court declines to interfere in the day-to-day activities of prison administration. See Bell v. Wolfish, 411 U.S. 520, 547-84 (1979) (noting that courts must ordinarily defer to prison administrators in the adoption and execution of policies and practices to preserve order and maintain institutional security).
