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 group of similar orders. Having considered the responses and replies, we conclude these cases are controlled by Advanced Diagnostic. Accordingly, we reverse and remand for further proceedings.

Reversed and remanded.

CONNER, C.J., MAY and DAMOORGIAN, JJ., concur.
