Singer Stein, Judge.
Michael J. Neimand, for appellant.

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.
