    In the Matter of Gail Sobel, Petitioner, v Robert A. Ross et al., Respondents.
    [918 NYS2d 350]
   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. Angiolillo, J.E, Florio, Hall and Miller, JJ., concur.
