TASK DEFINITION: In this task, you will be shown a prompt from a judicial decision and multiple holding statements derived from citations following text in a legal decision. Holdings represent the governing legal rule when the law is applied to a particular set of facts. There are five answer choices for each citing text. The correct answer is the holding statement that corresponds to the citing text. You should write an incorrect option. Even though there exist multiple wrong answers, we only need a single wrong answer. There is a <HOLDING> token in the position of the citing text prompt where the holding statement was extracted.

See Comm 'r of Nat. Res. v. Nicollet Cty.Pub. Water/Wetlands Hearings Unit, 633 N.W.2d 25, 30 (Minn. Ct. App. 2001) (affirming an appellate denial of the appellant's due process claim based on constitutionally valid notice of the hearing because the appellant knew the potential consequences of a reversal of the initial decision and participated in the appeal with counsel); see also Aubin v. Family Dollar, Inc., No. A14-0483, 2014 WL 6724937, at *4-5 (Minn. Ct. App. Dec. 1, 2014) (<HOLDING>); Koch v. Sheldahl, No. A03-1562, 2004 WL

PROBLEM: instruct the jury on all elements of self-defense.

The deficiency in the given instructions did not comport with the district court's position that Defendant be able to present his theory that he was defending himself and Crouch against all three assailants. The court's failure to adequately and accurately describe Defendant's theory of defense violated Defendant's fundamental rights. Cf. State v. Coffin, 1999-NMSC-038, 13, 128 N.M. 192, 991 P.2d 477 (<HOLDING>). {29} In addition to failing to present
