In the Matter of Edwin Madden, Petitioner, v Robert J. Miller et al., Respondents.
[917 NYS2d 912]
p. 772
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. of Sullivan County v Scheinman, 53 NY2d 12 , 16 [1981]). The petitioner has failed to demonstrate a clear legal right to the relief sought. Mastro, J.P, Skelos, Leventhal and Roman, JJ., concur.
