ORDER

CYNTHIA REED EDDY, Magistrate Judge.

Plaintiff, Jesse Derrick Bond, an inmate currently housed at SCI-Graterford, has filed a Motion for Leave of Court Directing D.O.C. Defendants and/or the D.O.C. to Allow Inmate Correspondence (ECF No. 84), to which Defendants have filed a Response (ECF No. 85). Specifically, Plaintiff has requested permission to correspond with inmate Darien Houser, who is currently housed at SCI-Greene. Plaintiff's motion indicates that on August 6, 2014, officials from SCI-Greene denied Plaintiff's request for "lack of staff support." See ECF No. 84-1.

Defendants filed a response which does not offer opposition to Plaintiff's motion, but rather explains that defense counsel has been advised by officials at SCI-Greene that Plaintiff's request to communicate with inmate Houser was denied because Plaintiff's request lacked justification indicating Houser's actual involvement in this lawsuit and also because SCI-Greene officials could not determine whether inmate Houser would be called as a witness in this lawsuit (ECF No. 85 at ¶ 4).

The Court recognizes that Plaintiff has a legitimate interest in communicating with potential witnesses in this case. However, Plaintiff's motion does not indicate precisely inmate Houser's involvement in the current lawsuit. There is a well-established policy of noninterference by the courts in the day-to-day operations of prisons, especially when those operations relate to institutional security. See Wolff v. McDonnell, 418 U.S. 539, 566 (1974); see also Bell v. Wolfish, 441 U.S. 520, 547-48 (1979). As such, this Court will not issue an order granting Plaintiff carte blanche to communicate with inmate Houser. Consequently, Plaintiff's motion will be denied without prejudice to Plaintiff filing a motion that explicitly states inmate Houser's involvement in this lawsuit and affirmatively states that inmate Houser will be called as a witness in this lawsuit.1

So ORDERED this 16th day of September, 2014.
