HARRIS, Associate Judge:
Each appellee was charged with soliciting for prostitution in violation of D.C. Code 1973, § 22-2701. 1 Motions to dismiss the informations were filed alleging various constitutional infirmities in the statute, both as enacted and as enforced. A hearing was held in the cases of appellees Moses and Smith; there was no hearing on the other cases. Six months later, the trial court issued a 60-page opinion, ruling the statute unconstitutional and dismissing the informations. The government has appealed pursuant to D.C.Code 1973, § 23-104(c). We reverse.
