Legal Question in Criminal Law in North Dakota

What can be done with a court Oder that states the state or county has to destroy all evidence and lower the persons record from felony to misdemeanor if the individual fulfills his judgement. The court don't fulfill their judgement still after 6 years. Can they be in contempt or maybe have to drop all charges.

No contempt.

And I think you are confused, it is likely that under ND law the felony is now deemed a misdemeanor but it is unlikely dismissed.

However if the felony was a deferred sentence it is possible that it should be off the public record.
