See Code § 17.1-403; Rule 5A:27. We deny claimant s request for attorneys fees and costs pursuant to Code § 65.2-713.2 Affirmed. 2 Claimant also cited Code § 65.2-524 in support of her request for attorneys fees and costs. However, that code section is not applicable to a request for attorneys fees and costs as it pertains to the assessment of a penalty against an employer for failure to timely pay compensation. -2-
