Anyone can sue in the US for any reason, but this is silly.

The IAOC made extensive attempts to contact him in many ways, with
zero response.  No court I know would find it unreasonable to assume
that he's no longer interested.

I certainly hope that this sort of situation does not recur, but it
seems perfectly reasonable in view of the facts to let the IAOC
proceed as though he's resigned.

R's,
