The above-named petitioners having presented a petition in the Second Department, transferred to this Court by order dated November 14, 2018, praying for an order, pursuant to article 78 of the Civil Practice Law and Rules, now, upon reading and filing the papers in said proceeding, and due deliberation having been had thereon, it is unanimously ordered that the petition hereby is denied and the motions to dismiss the petition (M-361; M-351) are granted to the extent of dismissing the petition. Since petitioners failed to meet their burden of demonstrating a "clear legal right" to the relief sought, neither mandamus nor prohibition is available (see Matter of Holtzman v Goldman , 71 NY2d 564 [1988]; Matter of Rush v Mordue , 68 NY2d 348 [1986]).
M-6520 Motion to stay proceedings denied.
THIS CONSTITUTES THE DECISION AND ORDER
OF THE SUPREME COURT, APPELLATE DIVISION, FIRST DEPARTMENT.
