Sure.  As long as he's represented, and never called, it could work.  I'm sure that if his attorneys didn't put him on a witness list, Wikimedia would, though, so... once called, he'd have to show up.

  I don't think Brant will ever sue the Wikimedia foundation.  I believe
  his real goal is to get someone else to do it for him.  I'm not a
  lawyer, but could any of those present tell me if it would be possible
  for him to successfully pursue a criminal or civil suit against
  Wikimedia without showing up in court himself?  If he can't, he'll
  never sue because we'd get a picture of him.  If he could, disregard
  this email.
