HARRIS, J.

¶1Mitchell contends that the trial court erred in classifying his offense of sexual conduct with a minor in custodial authority as a level 9 instead of a level 7 offense because at the time of his offense it was not listed in the sentencing ranking chart. The State concedes that we have previously ruled against it on this issue in Roberts v. State, 715 So.2d 302 (Fla. 5th DCA 1998), but urges that we recede from that case. The State contends that because it was an oversight that the legislature did not properly list the offense, we should consider the issue as though it had been listed. We decline the invitation and reverse.

¶2REVERSED for resentencing.
