Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York · Decided March 11, 1996
225 A.D.2d 624; 639 N.Y.2d 737; 639 N.Y.S.2d 737; 1996 N.Y. App. Div. LEXIS 2191
Jones v. Wangenstein

Opinion of the Court

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.
