MEMORANDUM ***

Marie-Gabrielle Jocelyn Philippe-Auguste, a native and citizen of Haiti, petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ (“BIA”) order dismissing her appeal from an immigration judge’s (“LJ”) order denying her application for voluntary departure. We deny the petition for review.

The record supports the BIA’s determination that Philippe-Auguste failed to show by clear and convincing evidence that *340 she was eligible for voluntary departure. See 8 C.F.R. § 1240.26 (c)(l)(iv), (2).

We review de novo claims of constitutional violations in immigration proceedings. See Ram v. INS, 243 F.3d 510, 516 (9th Cir.2001). Philippe-Auguste’s contention that she was denied due process because the BIA relied on a ground different from that relied upon by the IJ to deny her application for voluntary departure is unavailing. See Lin v. Gonzales, 472 F.3d 1131, 1136, n. 1 (9th Cir.2007). Moreover, Philippe-Auguste has not demonstrated prejudice. See Colmenar v. INS, 210 F.3d 967, 971 (9th Cir.2000) (requiring prejudice to prevail on a due process challenge).

PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
