OPINION OF THE COURT
ALITO, Circuit Judge.
This case involves the applicability of the Bankruptcy Code’s automatic stay provision, 11 U.S.C. § 362(a), to an arbitration panel’s resolution of an insurance coverage dispute. We hold that the arbitration proceeding became subject to the automatic stay after Travelers Casualty (“Travelers”) submitted arguments "supporting an award against the debtor ACandS, and that the panel’s award granting Travelers affirmative relief violated the automatic stay by diminishing the bankruptcy estate. We therefore reverse the order of the District Court.
