An Appeal from the County Court for Miami-Dade County, Linda Singer Stein, Judge.

Michael J. Neimand, for appellant.

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

Before LOGUE, HENDON, 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 (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.
