LANTANA HEALTH CENTER, INC., Appellant, v. STATE FARM MUTUAL INSURANCE COMPANY, Appellee.
Chad A. Barr of Chad Barr Law, Altamonte Springs, for appellants. No appearance for appellee.
Chad A. Barr of Chad Barr Law, Altamonte Springs, for appellants.
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 (Fla. 4th DCA 2021), where we 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 .
Levine, Forst and Artau, JJ., concur.
