Head Matter:
In the Matter of Shazad Husein, Petitioner, v Fernando M. Camacho et al., Respondents.
[929 NYS2d 750]

Opinion:
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. Mastro, J.E, Skelos, Dickerson and Lott, JJ., concur.
