MEMORANDUM **
Gilberto Reyes-Leon petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ decision affirming an immigration judge’s order of removal. We deny the petition. Even if Reyes-Leon could establish that the 1995 hearing violated due process, the best outcome he could have received from that proceeding was voluntary departure. 1 Had he received voluntary departure, however, he would be in the same position that he is in today. 2 In these circumstances, no miscarriage of justice occurred, much less a gross one.
*495 In light of our decision, the government’s motion to reconsider our earlier decision to allow supplementation is moot. We have not considered any of the supplemental materials. In addition, we need not consider the alternative ground for denying cancellation of removal provided by the immigration judge.
PETITION DENIED; GOVERNMENT’S MOTION DENIED AS MOOT.
