NATIONSTAR MORTGAGE, LLC, APPELLANT,

v.

BO CHAN, APPELLEE

PER CURIAM.

Nationstar Mortgage, LLC, (“Appellant”) appeals the trial court’s involuntary dismissal of its action for foreclosure of a promissory note and mortgage at the close of its case-in-chief during trial. We reverse.

The case began when the original lender, Bank of America, N.A., filed a one-count complaint against the Appellee and her husband to foreclose on the note and mortgage that it held on Appellee’s real property.1 Bank of America alleged that although it was no longer the owner of the note, it was the holder of the note and servicer of the loan, and it attached to its complaint a copy of the note and mortgage, with the note containing a blank indorsement. Sometime thereafter, Bank of America filed the original note with this same blank indorsement with the clerk of court together with a certified copy of the mortgage, where they remained at the time of trial. Bank of America later moved to amend its complaint to substitute Appellant as the party-plaintiff, alleging that the note and mortgage had been assigned to Appellant and that, as the holder, Appellant was now entitled to enforce the note and mortgage. The motion was granted without objection.

*332.At trial, Appellant moved the original note and the certified copy of the mortgage, that had previously been filed with the court, into evidence without objection. Appellant also moved into evidence the demand letter sent pursuant to paragraph 22 of the mortgage and its payment histo-' ry records establishing Appellee’s default on the note and mortgage. After Appellant concluded the presentation of its evidence and rested its case, Appellee moved for an involuntary dismissal. The trial court granted Appellee’s motion to dismiss, but it did so for reasons wholly unrelated to those argued by Appellee. The court found that Appellant failed to establish standing at the time suit was filed, and it thereaftér entered the final order of dismissal now on appeal. ,'

“We apply a de novo standard of review in determining whether a party has standing to bring an action.” U.S. Bank Nat’l Ass’n v. Laird, 200 So.3d 176, 177 (Fla. 5th DCA 2016) (citing Boyd v. Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., 143 So.3d 1128, 1129 (Fla. 4th DCA 2014))'. “A party seeking foreclosure has the burden to establish that it had standing at the time it filed the foreclosure complaint.” Id. (citing Boyd, 143 So.3d at 1129).

Here, Appellant was not the original plaintiff; however, as the substitute plaintiff, Appellant “stands in the shoes of the original plaintiffimortgagee,” Sandefur v. RVS Capital, LLC, 183 So.3d 1258, 1260 (Fla. 4th DCA 2016) (quoting Miller v. Kondaur Capital Corp., 91 So.3d 218, 219 (Fla. 4th DCA 2012)), and “acquires the standing (if any) of the original plaintiff at the time the case was filed.” Id. (citing Lewis v. J.P. Morgan Chase Bank, 138 So.3d 1212, 1213 (Fla. 4th DCA 2014)), In the instant case, the original plaintiff filed with the court the original note, with a blank indorsement, that was in the same condition as the copy that ,it attached to the initial complaint. This is sufficient to establish that the original plaintiff had standing to bring the foreclosure action, absent .any evidence or testimony to the contrary (which there was none). Thus, the trial court erred in holding that Appellant, as the substituted plaintiff, failed to establish standing, at the time suit was filed. See Ortiz v. PNC Bank, Nat’l Ass’n, 188 So.3d 923, 925 (Fla. 4th DCA 2016); Clay Cty. Land Trust No. 08-04-25-0078-014-27 v. JPMorgan Chase Bank, Nat’l Ass’n, 152 So.3d 83, 85 (Fla. 1st DCA 2014). Finally, we reject, without further comment, the remaining grounds asserted by Appellee for affirmance.

Accordingly, because Appellant had established standing at the inception of the suit, we reverse the order of involuntary dismissal-and remand this case for a new trial.

REVERSED and REMANDED.
