LAY, Circuit Judge
(concurring).
I concur. However, I construe the pro se petition as attacking the institution’s “practices, acts and policies” relating to prisoner mail. Allegedly that policy results in arbitrary interference with the mails as exemplified by the withholding of the supply catalogue from the petitioner. A neutral regulation if properly implemented by prison authorities would obviate such arbitrary action and could avoid needless prisoner litigation. See Procunier v. Martinez, 416 U.S. 396, 414, 94 S.Ct. 1800, 40 L.Ed.2d 224 (1974).
