Not final until disposition of timely filed motion for rehearing.

Appeal from the County Court for the Seventeenth Judicial Circuit, Broward County; John D. Fry, Judge; L.T. Case No. CONO21-017181.

On Confession of Error

Chad A. Barr of Chad Barr Law, Altamonte Springs, for appellant.

William J. McFarlane, III and Michael K. Mittelmark of McFarlane Law, Coral Springs, for appellee.

MAY, J.

A provider, as the insured's assignee, appeals an order dismissing its complaint for breach of contract. The provider argues the trial court erred in dismissing the provider's complaint for two reasons. First, the trial court relied on a declaratory judgment issued in another case for which the provider neither received notice nor participated. Second, the trial court looked beyond the four corners of the complaint in dismissing the case.

The insurer appellee has filed a Confession of Error. We therefore reverse and remand the case to the trial court to vacate the order of dismissal.

Reversed and Remanded.

Gerber and Artau, JJ., concur.
