The State asserts that the trial court's ruling was error, arguing that, under OCGA 45-15-3 (2), the Attorney General has the duty to prepare all contracts and writings in relation to any matter in which the state is interested and that, under OCGA 45-15-30, the Attorney General is the head of the Department of Law and as such define[s] the duties and responsibilities of any attorney or other employee of the said department. Therefore, the State contends, only the Attorney General is authorized to contract on behalf of the State or the Department of Law unless that authority is expressly delegated.

The Congress placed this appointment authority in the court of appeals rather than the district court in order to insulate, as best as possible, the federal public defender from the involvement of the court before which the defender principally practices. Furthermore, whatever the availability of a COVID-19 vaccine in the Winter of 2020, that level of availability could not have been what the parties intended as satisfying the third condition of the Agreement, given the fact that the parties entered the Agreement on April 14, 2021, well over three months after that level of availability had already been attained. In those districts with a defender organization, panel attorneys are typically assigned between 30 percent and 40 percent of the CJA cases, generally those where a conflict of interest or some other factor precludes federal defender representation.

Burton is a Deputy Attorney General, i.e., a senior administrator at the Attorney General's Office. In her role as Deputy Attorney General, she not only participated with Senior Assistant Attorney General Graham on the State's behalf in months-long negotiations regarding the subject of the Agreement but, in fact, she spearhead[ed] those negotiations.

In the body of the e-mail, Burton clearly identified the Agreement as the replacement for the previously negotiated MOU and as what the Attorney General's office considered to be the final agreement between the parties. The Appellees contended that these restrictions seriously impaired the ability of capital defenders, including lawyers at the Federal Defender, to effectively represent their clients in clemency and other pre-execution proceedings. In short, the State has not cited a single case, nor are we aware of one, in which our appellate courts have adopted a per se rule that e-mails cannot create a written contract sufficient to waive sovereign immunity. (d) In addition to the factors ordinarily considered in whether to grant an interlocutory injunction, the trial court addressed and rejected three additional arguments that the State raised below as to why an interlocutory injunction should not be granted, which the State now argues was error. All rights reserved. Therefore, the State contends that the district attorneys in the cases of the inmates affected by the Agreement are the only parties legally able to obtain the execution orders in those cases and that, because those district attorneys are not parties to this litigation, the Appellees request to enjoin the State from pursuing an act that only the district attorneys may perform is absurd., Both the law and the evidence presented at the hearing show that the Attorney General is heavily involved in death penalty cases, including the execution process. The trial court first found that the second and third conditions to the resumption of executions contained in the Agreement had not been satisfied based on the undisputed evidence showing that (1) normal legal visitation and normal visitation at Georgia prisons ha[d] not resumed [in] that the [DOC] continue[d] to impose significant limitations on visitation and (2) children under the age of five still [we]re not eligible for any COVID-19 vaccine and, therefore, the vaccine [wa]s not available to all members of the public. The trial court then described the undisputed evidence showing that, despite the Agreement, Senior Assistant Attorney General Graham had asked the Cobb County District Attorney to seek an execution order for Presnell from the Superior Court of Cobb County where Presnell was tried and that the Attorney General's office had worked toward obtaining an execution order for death row inmate Raulerson before it began seeking Presnell's execution order. See RTT Assoc., 299 Ga. at 82 (2), 786 S.E.2d 840. 7. Even though Burton sent the initial e-mail laying out the terms of the Agreement to Arceneaux, the record supports the trial court's finding that the parties understood Arceneaux to be negotiating on behalf of the Georgia Resource Center, the Federal Defender, and DeBruin, who had all participated in previous negotiations with the Attorney General's office regarding the subject matter of the Agreement and who together represented all of the inmates affected by the Agreement. This appeal followed.6. See City of Baldwin v. Woodard & Curran, Inc., 293 Ga. 19, 28 (2) (c), 743 S.E.2d 381 (2013) ([T]he power of public officials in Georgia is limited by the laws that prescribe their authority.). Shocked?

As to the second condition, the Appellees asserted that the DOC still maintained a Modified Visitation policy that placed numerous restrictions on both normal visitation and legal visitation and that differed materially from the DOC's pre-pandemic visitation policies. In the trial court and at oral argument, the State argued that, by using this language, Burton rejected a formal MOU because she did not want to enter into a contract and that there's a difference between an agreement and a contract. At oral argument, the State also argued for the first time that Burton's e-mail was a position statement rather than a contract. The trial court's interlocutory injunction only enjoins the State of Georgia and Christopher M. Carr, in his official capacity as Attorney General of the State of Georgia, and anyone acting in active participation or concert with them, from pursuing any execution warrant for death-eligible prisoners, other than Billy Raulerson, whose petitions for rehearing before the Eleventh Circuit were denied during the statewide judicial emergency. (emphasis supplied). Outraged? In this case, the State claims that the trial court abused its discretion in granting the Appellees request for an interlocutory injunction concerning the timing for seeking orders for the execution of specified death sentences from the superior courts of the counties where those sentences were originally imposed. See Ga. L. 2009, p. 698, 1; OCGA 10-12-4. However, because we conclude that the trial court did not err in finding that the Agreement contained Burton's electronic signature, we need not consider whether Tyson and its progeny correctly required a signed writing in order to waive sovereign immunity. at 8. 2005) (holding that the names of the parties representatives at the header of the e-mails or typed at the bottom of the e-mails, combined with evidence that the named individuals pushed the send button to deliver the e-mails, were sufficient to constitute an electronic signature under Missouri's UETA); Waddle v. Elrod, 367 S.W.3d 217, 228-29 (Tenn. 2012) (holding that the typed name of the attorney representing the party to be charged appearing at the end of an e-mail confirming the terms of a settlement agreement constituted an electronic signature under Tennessee's UETA).

The division also provides general legal representation to the various public safety and law enforcement agencies in the State, including but not limited to the DOC and the State Board of Pardons and Paroles both agencies that had an interest in or were affected by the Agreement. The State did not seek a supersedeas from the trial court or from this Court, however, and the temporary restraining order and interlocutory injunction remained in place while the execution order in Presnell's case expired. According to the State, a new standard of visitation now exists with regard to both legal and normal visitation as a result of the DOC's need to adapt to the new normal in a post-pandemic society. The entity's status is Active now. As the trial court correctly stated, the interlocutory injunction does not prevent a district attorney from acting alone to obtain an execution order. Accordingly, after applying the plain meaning of OCGA 10-12-7 (d) and 10-12-2 (8) to these facts, we conclude that the requirements for an electronic signature under the GUETA have been met with regard to both Burton and Graham.14 See Intl. Roadways to the Bench: Who Me? On March 16, 2021, Graham told Arceneaux in an e-mail regarding the proposed MOU that she had [t]ouched base with the Deputy AG and that he w[ould] be getting back with [them] soon., It appears from the record that, after the initial meeting on February 10, 2021, Graham and Arceneaux conducted most or all of the negotiations to finalize an agreement between the parties. Continuing Legal Education (CLE) accreditation for this program will be sought in all applicable jurisdictions. The Office of the Attorney General should have mooted this case before it was filed by simply fulfilling the promises its attorneys made even if the State later had reservations about the binding effect of the words of its Deputy Attorney General and Assistant Attorney General. at 533-34 (2) (b) (i), 534 (2) (b), 771 S.E.2d 201 (ii) (citing Tyson, 261 Ga. at 369 (1), 404 S.E.2d 557, and Baker, 252 Ga. at 460 (1), 314 S.E.2d 874); Bd. She graduated magna cum laude from Yale College, earned. Federal defender organizations, together with the more than 12,000 private "panel attorneys" who accept CJA assignments annually, represent the vast majority of individuals who are prosecuted in our nation's federal courts. Consequently, in order to be adequately prepared, the Federal Defender would need to prepare all of its execution-eligible clients clemency cases simultaneously. Accordingly, the record supports the trial court's finding that the Attorney General's office is so ingrained in Georgia's process of carrying out executions that the proposed injunction would, as a practical matter, prevent the issuance of execution warrants for prisoners who fall in the scope of the Agreement until the terms of that Agreement are met.. On March 11, 2021, Graham e-mailed Arceneaux that she was awaiting input from the Attorney General, evidencing his awareness of the negotiations and the terms of the Agreement. Acting under the supervision and direction of the Judicial Conference, the Administrative Office of the United States Courts oversees the expenditure of funds appropriated by Congress; administers the federal defender and panel attorney program on a national basis; is responsible for training related to furnishing representation under the CJA; and provides legal, policy, management, and fiscal advice to the Conference and its committees, judges, defenders and their staffs, and panel attorneys. Finding that this public interest is implicated even more when the State is a party to the contract, because if [the State] cannot be trusted to honor [its] agreements in these circumstances, it will substantially undermine the public's confidence in its government, the trial court then concluded that granting an interlocutory injunction would not disserve the public interest. This program was originally scheduled for Oct. 13-15, 2022, but was rescheduled for technical reasons. And so we must read the statutory text in its most natural and reasonable way, as an ordinary speaker of the English language would. Burton serves as the Deputy Attorney General of the Criminal Justice Division, which makes her the highest-ranking state criminal lawyer in Georgia.

Please let us known if you plan to bring a case question and send over a brief summary of the question or issue . Provide timely assigned counsel services to all eligible persons. The State also argues that the trial court abused its discretion in weighing this factor in favor of granting the injunction because the United States Constitution does not guarantee the right to a lengthy pre-clemency preparation period like the one that the Appellees sought. The Appellees correctly point out that the plain language of both the constitutional and the statutory provisions waiving sovereign immunity for breach of contract claims requires only that a contract be written, and not that it be signed, in order to waive sovereign immunity.

A performance or return promise is bargained for if it is sought by the promisor in exchange for his promise and is given by the promisee in exchange for that promise. OCGA 13-3-42 (b). In deciding whether to impose an interlocutory injunction, a trial court should consider whether the following factors exist: (1) there is a substantial threat that the moving party will suffer irreparable injury if the injunction is not granted; (2) the threatened injury to the moving party outweighs the threatened harm that the injunction may do to the party being enjoined; (3) there is a substantial likelihood that the moving party will prevail on the merits of her claims at trial; and (4) granting the interlocutory injunction will not disserve the public interest. See OCGA 50-3-2 and 50-3-30 (c). The Georgia Constitution provides that sovereign immunity extends to the state and all of its departments and agencies and that the State's sovereign immunity can only be waived by a constitutional provision or an act of the General Assembly that specifically provides for such a waiver and the extent thereof. The Winning Strategies Seminar brings together a dynamic group of attorneys and other legal professionals to speak on a wide variety of topics, all specifically designed to keep CJA practitioners abreast of the most recent and important developments in federal criminal defense. at 532 (2) (a), 771 S.E.2d 201. In addition, the trial court found that the State presented no evidence to refute [Appellees] contention that Graham and Burton had authority to negotiate and bind. These findings are sufficient to support the trial court's implicit conclusion that the State consented to conducting the transaction by electronic means. Based on the foregoing evidence, the trial court determined that the Appellees had shown a substantial likelihood that the Attorney General's office had breached its promise to not pursue execution orders from the district attorneys in the cases covered by the Agreement before the Agreement's three conditions were satisfied and its promised notice was provided. The group of attorneys involved in the negotiations included counsel for all of the inmates who became execution-eligible during the time period covered by the Order Declaring Statewide Judicial Emergency, which was issued by then-Chief Justice Melton on March 14, 2020, and which, after 15 extensions, expired on June 30, 2021. He is an adjunct professor at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, Boyd School of Law, and the UNLV Criminal Justice Department. Nevertheless, the Agreement included special terms specific to Raulerson and Nance regarding when the Attorney General's office would seek execution orders in their cases.The provision regarding Nance's case is not relevant to this appeal.
