Opinion
May 15, 1989
Adjudged that the proceeding is dismissed, without costs or disbursements.
The extraordinary remedy of mandamus lies to compel the performance of a purely ministerial act where there is a clear legal right to the relief sought (Matter of Legal Aid Socy. v Scheinman, 53 N.Y.2d 12, 16). Inasmuch as that is not the case in this instance, the proceeding is dismissed. Brown, J.P., Kooper, Harwood and Rosenblatt, JJ., concur.
