In which position would a modifier not require any commas?

A modifier doesn't require commas when it's immediately before the noun it modifies.

Here's an example:

* Incorrect: The, sleek, black cat sat on the porch.

* Correct: The sleek black cat sat on the porch.

The phrase "sleek black" modifies the noun "cat" and is placed directly before it. Therefore, no commas are needed.
