Heading: Whether Kelly Should Be Awarded Attorney's Fees.

Text: ¶ 17. Kelly cites as an assignment of error that IGT should pay attorney's fees; however, she offers no supporting argument or evidence to support her claim. Issues cannot be decided based on assertions from the briefs alone. The issues must be supported and proved by the record. Pulphus v. State, 782 So.2d 1220, 1224 (Miss.2001). `The appellant bears the burden on appeal, and we will entertain no claims for which no supporting authority has been cited.' Cavett v. State, 717 So.2d 722, 724 (Miss.1998) (quoting De La Beckwith v. State, 707 So.2d 547, 597 (Miss.1997)). Further, this Court stated in Pate v. State , that there is no duty to review assignments of error unsupported by argument or authority. Pate v. State, 419 So.2d 1324, 1325-26 (Miss.1982). Kelly is not entitled to attorney's fees. ¶ 18. Other issues raised have no merit and are not addressed.
