MEMORANDUM AND ORDER
Introduction
TORRES, District Judge.
Peerless Insurance Co. (“Peerless”) has appealed from an order of the Bankruptcy Court denying Peerless’ motion for relief from the automatic stay provision contained in 11 U.S.C. § 362(a)(1). The stay prevents Peerless from prosecuting a declaratory judgment action against the debtor, Annie’s, Inc. (“Annie’s”) in which Peerless seeks a determination that a liability insurance policy issued to Annie’s affords no coverage for claims arising out of a motor vehicle accident allegedly caused by the negligence of one of Annie’s employees.
