 adjudication,  enter  an order of protection. Where a temporary order of
 protection was issued, the court shall state on the record  the  reasons
 for  issuing or not issuing an order of protection. The duration of such
 an order shall be fixed by the court  and,  in  the  case  of  a  felony
 conviction,  shall  not  exceed  the greater of: (i) five years from the
 date of such sentencing, or (ii) three years from the date of the  expi-
