Abstract
In this paper, we consider supersymmetric quantum cosmology, where a m atrix representation for the gravitino covector spinor is used. The fu ll Lorentz constraint and its implications for the wave function of th e universe are analyzed in detail. We find that there are no physical states in the minisuperspace sector of the theory, unless the Lorentz condition trivializes.
