Aliens deportable under 8 U.S.C. § 1251(a)(11), except those convicted of a single offense of simple possession of 30 grams or less of marijuana, are ineligible for suspension of deportation under 8 U.S.C. § 1254(a)(2) or for voluntary departure under 8 U.S.C. § 1254(e).   See 8 U.S.C. § 1254(a)(2);  8 U.S.C. § 1254(e).
