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.
