%X After presenting a simple derivation of the covariant derivative of the Dirac spinor functions, the Dirac equation in the space of constant torsion, Minkowski metric and straight line geodesics is considered. Solutions of the equation are given, showing the particular way in which the energy degeneracy of the states with different spin projections is removed in the presence of torsion.
