I doubt it. The early BSD got clearance from Mother Unix (namely, AT&T), so at that point there was no issue. It would have to be argued that some Unix code came back into the BSDs. That is really a stretch. I'd bet that the BSD we have today can be traced back to the original one at the time of the consent decree; the newer stuff would have a terrible burden of proof to show that it came from Unix and not the other way round (namely, from BSD -> Unix).
If I were the attorney, I would request dismissal with prejudice, and for sanctions.
