On appeal, the State contends that the trial court erred by concluding that Presnell could receive a second clemency hearing based on evidence indicating that other death row inmates had done so, because the decision of whether to grant an inmate a second clemency hearing is at the discretion of the State Board of Pardons and Paroles, as illustrated by the fact that neither the trial court nor the Appellees have cited any rule or statute showing otherwise. As for the other parties to the Agreement, the State cursorily argues that, because Burton's initial e-mail stating what the Attorney General's office agreed to was sent only to Arceneaux, an attorney for the Georgia Resource Center, and not to the Federal Defender or any of its attorneys, the Appellees are not identified as parties to the Agreement.

Tyson, 261 Ga. 368, 369-70 (1), 404 S.E.2d 557 (1991) (holding that, where the essential term of consideration was not contained in the contract but instead had to be implied from the parties conduct, there was no written contract for sovereign immunity purposes). This Court held that the parties course of conduct could not extend the terms of the written contract and waive sovereign immunity. In this case, however, after balancing the equities, the trial court determined that all four factors weighed in favor of granting the interlocutory injunction. Moreover, in denying the State's motion to dismiss, the trial court found that the parties intended to be bound by the Agreement; that the e-mail was the result of months of negotiations between the Attorney General's Office and the parties by way of Anna Arceneuax; that the Attorney General was aware of the negotiations; that the e-mail was initiated by Deputy Attorney General Beth Burton; that the e-mail states, Anna, instead of a formal MOU, we will agree, and this email serves as the agreement that ; and that Graham subsequently confirmed the Agreement by e-mail reply.

App. It is well-established that, if the parties expressly agree that time shall be important; if they stipulate that a thing shall be done or not done, at a given time, then time is of the essence of the contract, and it must be observed. Sneed v. Wiggins, 3 Ga. 94, 102 (1847) (emphasis in original). In addition, the trial court rejected the State's argument that irreparable harm does not exist because Presnell's clemency hearing has already taken place and the Federal Defender was able to represent Presnell, pointing to evidence that, when executions have been stayed in the past and new execution orders have later been issued in death row inmates cases, the inmates have received second clemency hearings. 16.

The CJA authorized reimbursement of reasonable out-of-pocket expenses and payment of expert and investigative services necessary for an adequate defense. Finally, the Appellees contended that the State breached the Agreement by giving the Federal Defender, as counsel for Presnell, only two days notice of its intent to pursue an execution order in his case, instead of waiting until six months after the three conditions had been met before seeking such an order.5. However, as the trial court concluded, an injunction here ensures that executions will proceed on the timeline that the State itself proposed a timeline that the State presumably thought served the interests of justice when the State proposed it. Specifically with respect to Presnell, the trial court observed that, without an injunction, he would lose his ability to protect his rights under the Agreement because he would be executed as scheduled. Data Inquiry is also inapposite. To the contrary, the great weight of authority has indicated that, as a general matter, e-mails may constitute written contracts.

Northern District of Illinois' Chicago Office represent . (iii) In the last of the three additional arguments, the State argues that, before the interlocutory injunction issued, district attorneys were authorized to seek execution orders for execution-eligible death row inmates and the DOC was authorized to effectuate such orders. The Court thanks the Southern Center for Human Rights for its amicus curiae brief. Additionally, the, Defender Services Office Training Division, Sustaining in federal defense is uniquely challenging for attorneys of color. 8. Accordingly, it is not void for vagueness.

Accordingly, given the facts of this case, where the Appellees specifically bargained for protection against such potential harm, where the undisputed evidence supports the trial court's finding that there was a substantial threat that the Appellees would suffer irreparable harm if injunctive relief were not granted, and where monetary damages could not adequately compensate Presnell or the Federal Defender for the immediate and irreparable harm that they would suffer without the granting of injunctive relief, the trial court did not abuse its discretion in ruling that this factor favored the granting of injunctive relief.

The record shows that, when the Attorney General's office started the process of reinitiating executions, the office worked first toward obtaining an execution order for Raulerson but then changed course and sought an execution order for Presnell due to Raulerson's counsel's previously noticed plans to be out of the country from May 11 to May 22, 2022.
