& Fleischer, P. A., and Gary Marks (Fort Lauderdale), for appellee.

Before LOGUE, LINDSEY, and LOBREE, JJ.

     PER CURIAM.

     We reverse and remand consistent with our recent decision in United

Automobile Insurance Company v. Millennium Radiology, LLC, 47 Fla. L.
Weekly D175, D177 (Fla. 3d DCA Jan. 12, 2022) (“Millennium's ‘identity’ is

not the same in each of these cases against United Auto; Millennium draws

its identity from its assignor from case to case. The identity element of

collateral estoppel, therefore, is not satisfied.”).
