The representation of the superalgebra so(2,1) that resulted in the relativistic wave equation (2.1) and Eq. (2.4) is fully reducible. In fact, its even part that lead to Eq. (3.1) is the direct sum of two spin 1/2 representations of the Lorentz group and does not represent spin 3/2 particle as we claimed. Consequently, we retract our claim and withdraw the manuscript.
