PER CURIAM.
The State of Florida appeals the dismissal of an information against the appellee, Jack Humphrey. Humphrey was charged with violating section 847.011, Florida Statutes (1987), by possessing or distributing obscene materials. The trial court found the statutory definition of obscenity unconstitutionally vague and the statute a violation of the right of privacy guaranteed by the Florida Constitution. We reverse.
The order of dismissal was entered on December 15, 1988. This court subsequently upheld the constitutionality of section 847.011, on both grounds raised in this appeal in State v. Long, 544 So. 2d 219 (Fla. 2d DCA 1989), jurisdiction accepted Long v. State, 550 So. 2d 467 (Fla.1989). Accordingly, the dismissal in this case is reversed.

Prezell Wilson v. State, 593 So. 2d 1216 (Fla. 2d DCA 1992)…prisonment as a habitual felony offender. Mr. Wilson alleges he did not know that he had been sentenced as a habitual felony offender until he was in prison. If this allegation is true, then Mr. Wilson may be entitled to relief.

The court did discuss the applicability of section ■ 775.087 with defense counsel, but there is no evidence Colon (who appears to have relied upon an interpreter) was addressed personally. Cf. Wilson v. State, 559 So. 2d 733 (Fla. 2d DCA 1990). Accordingly, this case must be reversed for further proceedings. Unless it can be established from the record that Colon personally acknowledged he was subject to the provisions of section 775.087, the trial court should permit…
