ON CONCESSION OF ERROR

PER CURIAM.

The bank properly concedes that the trial court erred in entering a final judgment of foreclosure. The bank’s concession is based upon case law which this court issued after the trial. See Jelic v. LaSalle Bank, Natl Ass’n, 160 So.3d 127, 130 (Fla. 4th DCA 2015): (reversing a final judgment of foreclosure, in part because there was no evidence that the party transferring the note into the trust had any intent to transfer ah interest to the trustee); and Balch v, LaSalle Bank NA., 171 So.3d 207, 209 (Fla. 4th DCA 2015) (reversing a final judgment of foreclosure, in part because “evidence that the note was transferred into the trust prior to the foreclosure action is insufficient by itself to confer standing because there was no evidence that the indorsee had the intent to transfer any interest to the trustee”).

Contrary .to the bank’s request that we remand this case for a new trial, the proper remedy, as in both Jelic and Balch, is remand for entry of an involuntary dismissal. Jelic, 160 So.3d at 130; Balch, 171 So.3d at 209.

Reversed and remanded for entry of involuntary dismissal,

CIKLIN, C.J., MAY and GERBER, JJ., concur.
