                               Appellants,

                                   vs.

               Direct General Insurance Company,
                                Appellee.

    An Appeal from the Circuit Court for Miami-Dade County, Carlos
Guzman, Judge.

     Christian Carrazana, P.A., and Christian Carrazana, for appellants.

       McFarlane Law, McFarlane Dolan & Prince, and William J. McFarlane

Before LOGUE, C.J., and LINDSEY and LOBREE, JJ.

                     ON CONFESSION OF ERROR

     PER CURIAM.

     Based on the appellee’s proper confession of error, we reverse the

order denying the appellants’ motion to intervene because the appellants’
interest in the litigation is “of such a direct and immediate character that [they]

will either gain or lose by the direct legal operation and effect of the

judgment.” Union Cent. Life Ins. Co. v. Carlisle, 593 So. 2d 505, 507 (Fla.

1992) (quoting Morgareidge v. Howey, 78 So. 14, 15 (Fla. 1918)); see also

Accident911 Help Med. Ctr. Corp. v. Direct Gen. Ins. Co., 48 Fla. L. Weekly

D1700 (Fla. 3d DCA Aug. 23, 2023).

      Reversed and remanded.
