Where is Trump's equivalent of Bush's "George W. Bush and Richard Cheney, Petitioners v. Albert Gore, Jr., et al" titled lawsuit?

Does the title mean anything in a lawsuit? Harmed versus beneficiary of harm?

Or does it mean nothing, just something to reference it by?

Honest question; I really don't know.

It’s just Plaintiff v. Defendant for a case name, so we had Texas v. The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.... the really significant cases that are referred to a hundred years down the line are so well known they eventually come to be called by one of the parties so you get “Brown” for Brown v. Board of Education, and everyone knows what you’re talking about. Maybe eventually we’ll get Trump v. Swamp in the courtroom.

Hope so. I looked up the literal name of the SCOTUS lawsuit Bush had, that he won. I'm just wondering why Biden hasn't been named a defendant in a case yet (Or at least not that I've seen).
