MEMORANDUM OPINION

LEE, District Judge.

Pending before the Court are the cross motions of the parties for summary judgment. The facts are not in dispute. The parties agree the complaint sets forth all relevant information necessary to resolve the dispute, and there are no genuine issues of fact. There being no disputed facts, this case is ready for a decision based on the sole legal question presented: Does an insurance policy’s coverage for claims of “malicious prosecution” include claims under Pennsylvania’s Dragonetti Act, 42 Pa.C.SA. Section 8351 for Wrongful Use of Civil Proceedings?
