    [829 NYS2d 905]
   Proceeding pursuant to CPLR article 78 in the nature of mandamus, inter alia, to compel the respondent Gregory Lasak, a Justice of the Supreme Court, Queens County, to direct various officials to produce New York City Police Department documents in connection with an action entitled People v Brunson, pending under Queens County indictment No. 1100/05, and application by the petitioner for poor person relief.

Ordered that the application for poor person relief is granted to the extent that the filing fee imposed by CPLR 8022 (b) is waived, and the application is otherwise denied; and it is further,

Adjudged that the petition is denied and the proceeding is dismissed, without costs or disbursements.

The extraordinary remedy of mandamus will lie only to compel the performance of a ministerial act and only when there exists á 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., Rivera, Spolzino and Krausman, JJ., concur.
