PER CURIAM.

Although we find no merit m appellant s contention that it was error to ‍​​‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​​​​‌​​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌‌‌​​​‌​‌​​‌​​​‌‌‌​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌​​‌​​‌​​​​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌‍impose probation in sentencing him under the habitual offender statute, King v. State, No. 91-00036, 597 So.2d 309 (Fla. 2d DCA 1992), we must reverse and remand for further proceedings. The appellant ‍​​‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​​​​‌​​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌‌‌​​​‌​‌​​‌​​​‌‌‌​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌​​‌​​‌​​​​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌‍waived presentation of the presentence investigation report but did ask that certified copies of the prior convictions be placed in the court file. The record does not indicate ‍​​‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​​​​‌​​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌‌‌​​​‌​‌​​‌​​​‌‌‌​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌​​‌​​‌​​​​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌‍that certified copies of the prior convictions were produced, and therefore, there is no indication that the trial court made the required findings concerning prior convictions. See West v. ‍​​‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​​​​‌​​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌‌‌​​​‌​‌​​‌​​​‌‌‌​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌​​‌​​‌​​​​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌‍State, 583 So.2d 394 (Fla. 2d DCA 1991). We, accordingly, remand so that the trial court may either make the required findings or, if the requisite prior convictions do not ‍​​‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​​​​‌​​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌‌‌​​​‌​‌​​‌​​​‌‌‌​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌​​‌​​‌​​​​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌‍exist, resentence him.

Reversed and remanded with instructions.
