Appeal of a nonfinal order from the County Court for the Seventeenth Judicial Circuit, Broward County; Terri-Ann Miller, Judge; L.T. Case No. COSO-21-004908.
Chad A. Barr of Chad Barr Law, Altamonte Springs, for appellant. No appearance for appellee. PER CURIAM.
The county court sua sponte transferred venue without any showing that plaintiff’s chosen venue was improper or that transfer was appropriate on forum non conveniens grounds. We issued an order directing Appellee to show cause why this case is not controlled by Advanced Diagnostic Group v. Ocean Harbor Casualty Insurance Co., 321 So. 3d 772, 773-74 (Fla. 4th DCA 2021), where this Court recently reversed a group of similar orders. Appellee did not respond.
Accordingly, we reverse the order transferring venue and remand for further proceedings.
Reversed and remanded. CIKLIN, FORST and KUNTZ, JJ., concur. * * * Not final until disposition of timely filed motion for rehearing.
