    In the Matter of Jeffrey Rogers, Petitioner, v Barry Kron, an Acting Justice of the Supreme Court, Queens County, et al., Respondents.
    [40 NYS3d 915]-
   Proceeding pursuant to CPLR article 78, inter alia, in the nature of mandamus to compel the respondent Barry Kron, an Acting Justice of the Supreme Court, Queens County, inter alia, to determine pro se motions made by the petitioner in a criminal action entitled People v Rogers, pending under Queens County indictment No. 2483/15, 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 on the merits, without costs or disbursements.

The extraordinary remedy of mandamus will lie only to compel the performance of a ministerial act, and only where 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.

Balkin, J.P., Hall, Sgroi and Barros, JJ., concur.
