Heading: Smulls' Motion to Disqualify All St. Louis County Judges

Text: After the 1996 remand, Smulls filed a motion to disqualify all current and former judges of the St. Louis County Circuit. That motion was overruled. The issue was briefed on the second appeal to this Court and denied. Smulls v. State, 10 S.W.3d at 499-500. Smulls now attempts to raise the issue again. However, this Court's earlier resolution of the issue on the merits is the law of the case and the issue may not be raised again. Williams v. Kimes, 25 S.W.3d 150, 153-54 (Mo. banc 2000).
