1998 Minnesota Statutes

     586.01 Issuance of writ, judicial discretion not 
  controlled. 

    The writ of mandamus may be issued to any inferior 
 tribunal, corporation, board, or person to compel the 
 performance of an act which the law specially enjoins as a duty 
 resulting from an office, trust, or station.  It may require an 
 inferior tribunal to exercise its judgment or proceed to the 
 discharge of any of its functions, but it cannot control 
 judicial discretion.
