228 A.D.2d 710; 644 N.Y.2d 642; 644 N.Y.S.2d 642; 1996 N.Y. App. Div. LEXIS 7356
Calicchia v. Kowtna

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. Mangano, P. J., Balletta, Sullivan, Copertino and Pizzuto, JJ., concur.
