ORDER ON MOTION
Before the Court is Plaintiff's Motion to Lift Stay [Doc. 14]. On January 20, 2012, this Court entered an automatic stay pursuant to 11 U.S.C. § 362(a), as to Defendants George Willis, Jr., Money's Inc., Nu Money Records and Entertainment, Inc., and Demetria Brown, after receiving Plaintiff's motion and suggestion of bankruptcy with regards to Defendant George Willis. [Doc. 13].
In the instant Motion, Plaintiff requests that this Court lift the automatic stay, pursuant to 11 U.S.C. § 362(a), as Defendant Willis' bankruptcy has been discharged. In support, Plaintiff has provided the Court with the Order discharging the bankruptcy on January 10, 2012. Additionally, Plaintiff contends that it is not seeking to obtain money from the discharged debtor Defendant, but rather seeks a declaration of the extent of coverage under an insurance policy. After considering the facts and relevant law, Plaintiff's Motion to Lift Stay [Doc. 14] is GRANTED. Accordingly, the automatic STAY previously entered in this matter is LIFTED as to Defendants George Willis, Jr., Money's Inc., Nu Money Records and Entertainment, Inc., and Demetria Brown.
