Matter of Fischer

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department
Mar 1, 1914
161 App. Div. 946 (N.Y. App. Div. 1914)

Opinion

March, 1914.

Present — Jenks, P.J., Burr, Thomas, Carr and Putnam, JJ.


Motion for mandamus denied, without costs, on the ground that the faculty of the New York University, in passing on the qualifications of the petitioner, acts as a quasi-judicial body, whose determination cannot be reversed by mandamus ( People ex rel. Jones v. N.Y. Homeopathic Medical College Hospital, 47 N Y St. Repr. 395); also in that this court has original jurisdiction to grant the writ of mandamus only to a judge or judges (Code Civ. Proc. § 2069), and further, that the remedy by alternative writ of mandamus has been passed upon by the Special Term, and denied by order of Mr. Justice Blackmar, February 26, 1914.
