LEVY, J.
[¶ 1] Luis Pabon appeals from a judgment entered in the Superior Court (Cumberland County, Warren, J.) after a jury verdict convicting him of elevated aggravated assault (Class A), 17-A M.R.S. § 208-B(1)(A) (2010), and attempted murder (Class A), 17-A M.R.S. § 152(1)(A) (2010). He asserts that the court’s failure to include the dwelling-place exception to the duty to retreat when instructing the jury on self-defense constitutes obvious error. We affirm the judgment.
