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. 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.

And, in fact, the evidence showed that Graham initiated the process for obtaining the execution order for Presnell by requesting that the district attorney obtain the order. RTT Assoc., 299 Ga. at 82-83 (2), 786 S.E.2d 840.

Accordingly, the trial court properly determined that the interlocutory injunction would protect and maintain the status quo by returning the parties to their positions before [the State's alleged] breach. See Byelick, 275 Ga. at 506 (1), 570 S.E.2d 307 (holding that the status quo that warranted protection by an interlocutory injunction was the position that the parties were in prior to the time that the plaintiff's breach of contract claim arose).

In considering this factor, the trial court pointed to evidence showing that COVID-19-related visitation restrictions had impaired the Federal Defender's ability to conduct adequate clemency investigations and the evidence showing that such investigations are a substantial undertaking requiring the collection of considerable evidence and the preparation of numerous witnesses to testify at the proceedings. 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.
