     Michael J. Neimand, for appellant.

      David B. Pakula, P.A., and David B. Pakula (Pembroke Pines); Marks
& Fleischer, P.A., and Gary Marks (Fort Lauderdale), for appellee.

Before EMAS, SCALES and GORDO, JJ.

     PER CURIAM.
      We reverse and remand consistent with our decision in United

Automobile Insurance Co. v. Millennium Radiology, LLC, 337 So. 3d 834,

837 (Fla. 3d DCA 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.”).

      Reversed and remanded.
