| In the Matter of Steven Huang et al., Petitioners, v Martin J. Schulman, as Justice of the Supreme Court of the State of New York, et al., Respondents. |
—[*1]
Andrew M. Cuomo, Attorney General, New York, N.Y. (Roberta L. Martin of counsel), for
respondents Martin J. Schulman and Jeremy Weinstein.
Jack L. Glasser, P.C., Jamaica, N.Y. (Garris L. Williams of counsel), for respondents Fabian
A. Sy, FAS Development Co., Inc., and 225 Associates.
Proceeding pursuant to CPLR article 78 in the nature of mandamus, inter alia, to compel Martin J. Schulman, a Justice of the Supreme Court, Queens County, to calendar the above-entitled matter for immediate trial.
Adjudged that the petition is denied and the proceeding is dismissed, without costs or disbursements.
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 petitioners have failed to demonstrate a clear legal right to the relief sought. Spolzino, J.P., Ritter, Dillon and Dickerson, JJ., concur.
