The respondents were summoned to court on rules to show cause why they should not be barred from operating motor vehicles on highways of this State, as directed by the Habitual Offender Act, S. C. Code of Laws, §§ 56-1-1010 through -1130 (1976). The trial judge found each had committed offenses subjecting him to treatment as an habitual offender. See S. C. Code of Laws, § 56-1-1070 (1976). He issued orders stating he found the circumstances did not justify the use of the Habitual Offender Act. We vacate these orders and remand for application of the penalty mandated by the Act.
