                      ON CONFESSION OF ERROR

PER CURIAM.

   In these consolidated cases, the trial courts sua sponte entered orders
transferring venue without any showing that plaintiffs’ chosen venue was
improper or that transfer was appropriate on forum non conveniens
grounds.

   We issued an order directing the parties to show cause why these cases
are not controlled by Advanced Diagnostic Group v. Ocean Harbor Casualty
Insurance Co., No. 4D21-458, 2021 WL 1310851 (Fla. 4th DCA Apr. 8,
2021), where this Court recently reversed a similar group of orders.
Appellees have confessed error or failed to respond.

    Accordingly, the orders transferring venue are reversed and remanded
for further proceedings.

   Reversed and remanded.

FORST, KUNTZ and ARTAU, JJ., concur.

                                     7
                     *        *        *

Not final until disposition of timely filed motion for rehearing.
