HACKENSACK — There was no decision Wednesday in a case before a Superior Court judge involving a petition by Teaneck Township to bar a resident from filing public records requests.

But Judge Robert P. Contillo expressed some skepticism with Teaneck’s argument that Elie Jones, a 44-year-old lifelong unemployed township resident, harassed and bullied the township staff as he filed more than 300 records requests since November under the state’s Open Public Records Act, or OPRA.
