We study chiral-symmetry breaking for three-dimensional QED with N fermion flavors, just above the critical threshold. By analysis of a consistently truncated Schwinger-Dyson system for the fermion propagator and the fermion-boson vertex, we argue that the critical coupling must be strictly positive.
