Re: Sundown laws
If the sentence itself involved 10 years or more of possible penitentiary time for conviction of one or more serious felonies, the answer is yes, the judge(taking into consideration other relevant factors) could order the defendant as a condition of his probation to "stay out of Dodge"(or, perhaps, Virginia City would be more appropros) for that period of time.
