Is this grounds for a lawsuit?

In summary: He could:a). Leave his name on the paper and have one more publication. Depending on where he is in his career this could be quite a big deal for him.b). Retract his name by contacting the journal, making a big deal about it, etc. If people in the field know him at all and he can get something with his reasons for retracting his name published (assuming there are some scientific reasons as well) AND assuming he has no loyalty to this professor... then it might help him more to publish a retraction...c). sue the professor on dubious legal grounds... I don't think this would accomplish anything...To be clear,

Thanks for that piece of information!
I believe that Bystander's information is not only correct, but is codified under "implied consent" laws in most states.

If someone signed your name to a contract, would the best course of action be to declare the contract null and void?

No, not if you would have signed your name to it anyway given the chance.

My point remains: make the guy apologize, but why try to get your name taken off the paper?
