Before FERNANDEZ, C.J., and EMAS and LOBREE, JJ.

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

Automobile Insurance Co. 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.”).

      Reversed and remanded.
