1038, 1040 (9th Cir. 2000)). While we might hesitate to dismiss a meritorious case for failure to comply with Rule 28, N/S Corp. v. Liberty Mut. Ins. Co., 127 F.3d 1145, 1146 (9th Cir.1997), Toroyan’s petition is not meritorious. The IJ offered specific and cogent reasons for disbelieving Toroyan’s claim that she suffered persecution on account of a protected ground. Gui v. INS, 280 F.3d 1217, 1225 (9th Cir.2002). For example, the IJ noted inconsistencies with respect to Toroyan’s position at the news station, and he pointed out several factual discrepancies regarding the alleged attacks on her husband and daughter. The IJ thus relied upon inconsistencies that are supported by the record and are significant to Toroyan’s asylum claim. Li v. Ashcroft, 378 F.3d 959, 964 (9th Cir.2004) (<HOLDING>).
