In the Matter of Edward Jones, Petitioner, v Robert Wangenstein et al., Respondents.
[639 NYS2d 737]

The extraordinary remedy of mandamus will lie only to compel the performance of a ministerial act, and only when there exists a clear legal right to the relief sought (see, Matter of Legal Aid Socy. v Scheinman, 53 NY2d 12 , 16). The petitioner has failed to demonstrate a clear legal right to the relief sought. Thompson, J. P., Joy, Krausman and McGinity, JJ., concur.
