  In this contribution, we discuss the results of a QM calculation of the
open-flavor strong decays of **** light nucleon resonances. These are the
results of a recent calculation, where we used a modified $^3P_0$ model for the
amplitudes and the U(7) algebraic model and the Hypercentral Quark Model to
predict the baryon spectrum. The decay amplitudes are compared with the
existing experimental data.
