With regard to nonaction, "the general rule [is] that when a civil statute is silent as to the applicable standard of proof, the preponderance of the evidence standard governs factual determinations required by that statute." This rule applies equally to statutes that provide for multiple damages.

Scattered itself agrees that "[i]f the ADS Agreement expired, there would be nothing for the Trustee to assume or reject." Scattered Br. 13. See R. Ginsberg & R. Martin, Ginsberg & Martin on Bankruptcy SS 7.01[C], at 7-8 n. 37 (4th ed.1995) (updated & current through 2007) ("Of course, if the executory contract (or lease) expires by its own terms during the postpetition, pre-assumption/rejection period, the trustee will have nothing to assume or reject."). Scattered is certainly correct in contending that the susceptibility of a claim (or argument) to sanctions under Bankruptcy Rule 9011 or Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11 does not necessarily require resolution of the merits of the underlying claim.
