MLE capped by the parameter range

Let 5,10,4,15,65,10,4,15,6 be an observed random sample of size 5 from a distribution with probability density function f(x;θ)={e−(x−θ),x≥θ0,otherwisef(x;\theta)=\begin{cases}e^{-(x-\theta)},&x\ge\theta\\0,&\text{otherwise}\end{cases} θ∈(−∞,3]\theta\in(-\infty,3] is unknown. Then, the maximum likelihood estimate of θ\theta based on the observed sample is equal to __________.
