In the Matter of Antonio Cole, Petitioner, v Nicholas DeRosa, Respondent.
[978 NYS2d 872]
p. 766
The extraordinary remedy of mandamus will lie only to compel the performance of a ministerial act, and only where there exists a clear legal right to the relief sought (see Matter of Legal Aid Socy. of Sullivan County v Scheinman, 53 NY2d 12 , 16 [1981]). The petitioner has failed to demonstrate a clear legal right to the relief sought. Rivera, J.P., Dillon, Dickerson and Austin, JJ., concur.
