Abstract
In this letter we apply the methods of our previous paper, hep-th/0108045, to noncommutative fermions. We show that the fermions form a spin- 1/2 representation of the Lorentz algebra. The covariant splitting of the conformal transformations into a field-dependent part and a $\theta$-part implies the Seiberg-Witten differential equations for the fermions.
