[EL] 50% + CVAP Districts

Sorry to bother but I recently saw posted on this Listserv a case wherein
the Plaintiffs had challenged under Section 2 of the VRA, districts adopted
by a government.  The government had drawn the new boundaries and had
included a district with 50% CVAP or greater for a minority population
(Latino I believe) but the Plaintiffs claimed the 50%+ district drawn by
the government was ineffective.  The Court rejected a claim that a 50% or
greater district drawn by the government could amount to vote dilution. I
have spent several hours searching Westlaw for the case and cannot locate.
 Does anyone on here by chance recall the case?  Thanks in advance.
