    In the Matter of Scott Needleman et al., Petitioners, v William A. Kelly et al., Respondents.
    [933 NYS2d 557]
   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 petitioners have failed to demonstrate a clear legal right to the relief sought. Rivera, J.E, Dickerson, Eng and Roman, JJ., concur.
