Helen Voutsinas
Donna-Marie E. Golia, JJ.
The Bellantoni Law Firm, PLLC, Scarsdale, NY (Amy L. Bellantoni of counsel), for petitioner.
[*1]
DECISION & JUDGMENT
Proceeding pursuant to CPLR article 78 in the nature of mandamus to compel the respondent, Hyun Chin Kim, a Justice of the County Court, Orange County, to issue a determination on the petitioner's application to amend her pistol licence.
ADJUDGED that the petition is denied and the proceeding is 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). The petitioner has failed to demonstrate a clear legal right to the relief sought.
GENOVESI, J.P., FORD, VOUTSINAS and GOLIA, JJ., concur.
