“Code § 19.2-319 provides for the postponement of the execution of a sentence in order to give “a fair opportunity to apply for a writ of error.” Ramey , [145 Va.] at 851, 133 S.E. at 756 . Here, appellant made no assertion to the trial court that he needed additional time to prepare his petition for appeal; rather, from appellant’s motion it appears that he misconstrued the statute, requesting that execution of his sentence be postponed “pending action by the Court of Appeals.... ” Code § 19.2-319 provides for no such relief. We [thus] find no prejudice to appellant by the trial court’s refusal to suspend execution of this sentence.”
