Millennium Radiology, LLC, 47 Fla.L.Weekly D175, D177 (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.
