No, look at 37 C.F.R. 1.510, part (a) where it says "Any person may, at any time ..." This means even if you are tangled in a complex court case, you can file a Reexamination Application. This follows logically from the fact that you can file these anonymously and that patent litigation does not invlove the Patent and Trademark Office, it happens within the civil court system.
