The Nevada suit is Guy v. Miller, No. 11-OC-000421B  (Nevada state court), complaint here.

You can also add Texas (Teuber v. Texas, No. 04:11-cv-00059 (E.D. Tex.), complaint here) to the list.

There were also cases already resolved in Oklahoma (Duffee v. State Question 748, No. O-109127 (Okla. Sup. Ct.), docket here) and Virginia (Carter v. Virginia Board of Elections, No. 3:11-cv-7 (W.D. Va.), opinion here), though each was dismissed on procedural grounds, and might well reappear in a different forum.

I've been tracking (and will continue to track) redistricting litigation this cycle, and in about two-three weeks, will have a website up with the cases, and a whole bunch of additional information about the process, to complement Doug's excellent overview site here and Mike's excellent overview site here...
