1Opinion of the CourtMead, J.

[¶ 1] The Estate of Eric E. Benson appeals from a summary judgment entered by the Superior Court (Cumberland County, Warren, J.)'in favor of Metropolitan Property and Casualty Insurance Company 1 on Metropolitan’s complaint seeking a declaratory judgment. On appeal, the Estate contends that the Superi- or Court erred in concluding that an intentional loss exclusion in a homéowner’s insurance policy precluded coverage -for William Googins’s intentional assault of Eric Benson, which resulted in Benson’s death. We affirm the judgment.
