North Dakota Century Code Title 32. Judicial Remedies § 32-34-13. Disobedience--Punishment

When a peremptory mandamus has been issued and directed to any inferior tribunal, corporation, board, or person, if it appears to the court that any member of such tribunal, corporation, board, or such person upon whom the writ has been served personally has refused or neglected to obey the same without just excuse, the court upon motion may impose a fine not exceeding one thousand dollars. In case of persistence in a refusal of obedience, the court may order the party to be imprisoned until the writ is obeyed and may make any orders necessary and proper for the complete enforcement of the writ.
