Motion by the respondent 67 Park Lane Holding Corp, inter alia, to dismiss the petition insofar as asserted against it on the ground that it is not a proper party to the proceeding and the petition fails to state a claim upon which relief can be granted. Motion by the respondent Bank of America, inter alia, to dismiss the petition insofar as asserted against it on the ground that it is not a proper party to the proceeding and the petition fails to state a claim upon which relief can be granted. Motion by the respondents Bank of New York Mellon and Specialized Loan Servicing, [*2]inter alia, to dismiss the petition insofar as asserted against them on the ground that they are not proper parties to the proceeding and the petition fails to state a claim upon which relief can be granted.

Upon the petition, and the papers filed in support of the motions and the papers filed in opposition thereto, it is

Ordered that those branches of the separate motions of the respondent 67 Park Lane Holding Corp, the respondent Bank of America, and the respondents Bank of New York Mellon and Specialized Loan Servicing which are to dismiss the petition insofar as asserted against each of those respondents on the ground that they are not proper parties to the proceeding and the petition fails to state a claim upon which relief can be granted are granted, and the motions are otherwise denied; and it is further,

Adjudged that the petition insofar as purportedly asserted by the petitioners Bibi Ramzan, Khakan Ramzan, Natasha Samaroo, Charles Cruz, Karen Vazquez, and Lisa C. Cruz is dismissed pursuant to Judiciary Law § 487 on the ground that the petitioner Roger Rowe does not allege that he is authorized to act on behalf of the petitioners Bibi Ramzan, Khakan Ramzan, Natasha Samaroo, Charles Cruz, Karen Vazquez, and Lisa C. Cruz or that he otherwise has the capacity to commence this proceeding on behalf of the petitioners Bibi Ramzan, Khakan Ramzan, Natasha Samaroo, Charles Cruz, Karen Vazquez, and Lisa C. Cruz; and it is further,

Adjudged that the petition is otherwise denied and the proceeding is otherwise dismissed on the merits, without costs or disbursements.

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]). "Because of its extraordinary nature, prohibition is available only where there is a clear legal right, and then only when a court—in cases where judicial authority is challenged—acts or threatens to act either without jurisdiction or in excess of its authorized powers" (Matter of Holtzman v Goldman, 71 NY2d 564, 569 [1988]; see Matter of Rush v Mordue, 68 NY2d 348, 352 [1986]).

The petitioner Roger Rowe has failed to demonstrate a clear legal right to the relief sought.

The petitioner Roger Rowe's remaining contentions are without merit. Brathwaite Nelson, J.P., Landicino, McCormack and Hom, JJ., concur.
