KCP&L GREATER MISSOURI OPERATIONS COMPANY, RELATOR, v. THE HONORABLE JACQUELINE COOK, CIRCUIT COURT JUDGE, 17TH JUDICIAL CIRCUIT COURT, RESPONDENT. J. Relator KCP&L Greater Missouri Operations Company seeks a writ of prohibition directing Respondent, Judge Jacqueline Cook of the Seventeenth Judicial Circuit, to take no further action other than to grant its motion for summary judgment in the pending civil lawsuit, Monroe Gunter v.
