BIDDEFORD — A judge has denied three requests for protection from harassment orders involving Matthew Lauzon, a Boston businessman who grew up in Biddeford, and City Councilor Laura Seaver and her husband Randy Seaver.

In December, the Seavers each requested restraining orders prohibiting Lauzon from contacting them for a year. In January, Lauzon requested one against Randy Seaver. 

Judge Jeffrey Moskowitz made his ruling after a two-hour hearing at Biddeford District Court Monday afternoon. Dozens, including city officials, were in attendance.

In issuing the ruling, Moskowitz said that although there is “clearly a disagreement the parties have with one another,” none of them presented evidence to suggest harassment or stalking occured. He also noted that much of the evidence presented during the hearing, at which all three parties represented themselves, was irrelevent to the matter at hand.
