  Dalitz decay of baryon resonances is studied and expressions for the decay
width are derived for resonances with arbitrary spin and parity. Contributions
of the various terms in the transition matrix element are compared and
relevance of spin-parity and the resonance mass is discussed. Explicite
algebraic expressions are cited for spin$\le$5/2 resonances. The results can be
used in models of dielectron production in elementary reactions and heavy ion
collisions.
