ORDER OF AFFIRMANCE
Busby claims the district court erred by sentencing him to a term of probation of 18 months because it exceeds that allowed by NRS 176A.500.

Busby committed the offense on May 27, 2018. At that time, NRS 176A.500(1)(a)(1) provided for a term of probation of up to three years. 2017 Nev. Stat., ch. 503, § 1, at 3312. Therefore, we conclude the district court did not err by sentencing Busby to a term of probation of 18 months. Accordingly, we
ORDER the judgment of conviction AFFIRMED.
