No. 73-1050

Opinion of the Court
PER CURIAM.

PER CURIAM.

We conclude that the petition for writ of mandamus did not demonstrate that the petitioner had a clear and already established legal right to the performance of a duty by any of the respondents. Therefore, the final order dismissing the petition is affirmed, without prejudice to the petitioner’s institution of a separate action for de claratory judgment or for damages to secure the relief he has sought in this one.

Affirmed.

McNULTY, C. J., GRIMES, J., and SCHWARTZ, ALAN R., Associate Judge, concur.
