In the Matter of Karla Vollbehr, Petitioner, v William J. Kent III, a Justice of the Supreme Court, Suffolk County, et al., Respondents.
    [930 NYS2d 469]
   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. Rivera, J.P, Balkin, Hall and Cohen, JJ., concur.
