Outcome

The District Court reversed the Bankruptcy Court's summary judgment in favor of the debtor, holding that Aurora's cancellation of the keyman insurance policy did not violate the automatic stay imposed by Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing, as the policy expired by its own terms rather than through affirmative acts by Aurora.
