  The motion of relativistic particles around three dimensional black holes
following the Hamilton-Jacobi formalism is studied. It follows that the
Hamilton-Jacobi equation can be separated and reduced to quadratures in analogy
with the four dimensional case. It is shown that: a) particles are trapped by
the black hole independently of their energy and angular momentum, b) matter
alway falls to the centre of the black hole and cannot understake a motion with
stables orbits as in four dimensions. For the extreme values of the angular
momentum of the black hole, we were able to find exact solutions of the
equations of motion and trajectories of a test particle.
