*231DANIEL E. SCOTT, Judge,
concurring.
I concur in the result and in the disposition of Point I. I believe, as Appellant’s brief intimates, that Point II was not preserved. I would review Point II for plain error. Instructional error is rarely plain error,1 and as the court’s opinion notes, Appellant was not entitled to use deadly force to repel a simple battery.2 Appellant has not shown the manifest injustice or miscarriage of justice required for plain error relief. I fully agree the conviction should be affirmed.
