Va. R. Sup. Ct. 5A:4A
If pertinent and significant authorities come to a party's attention after the party's petition for appeal, brief in opposition, or brief has been filed, or after oral argument but before decision, a party may promptly advise the clerk by letter, with a copy to all other parties, setting forth the citations. The letter must state the reasons for the supplemental citations, referring either to the page of the brief or to a point argued orally. The body of the letter must not exceed 350 words. Any response must be made within 14 days and may not exceed 350 words. The Court, in its discretion, may refuse to consider the supplemental authorities if they unfairly expand the scope of the arguments on brief, raise matters that should have been previously briefed, appear to be untimely, or are otherwise inappropriate to consider.
