    In the Matter of Vincent J. Wiscovitch, Petitioner, v Frank A. Gulotta, Jr., Respondent.
    [918 NYS2d 901]
   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.R, Florio, Belen and Austin, JJ., concur.
