  A supersymmetric spin-1/2 particle in the noncommutative plane, subject to an
arbitrary magnetic field, is considered, with particular attention paid to the
homogeneous case. The system has three different phases, depending on the
magnetic field. Due to supersymmetry, the boundary critical phase which
separates the sub- and super-critical cases can be viewed as a reduction to the
zero-energy eigensubspace. In the sub-critical phase the system is described by
the superextension of exotic Newton-Hooke symmetry, combined with the conformal
so(2,1) ~ su(1,1) symmetry; the latter is changed into so(3) ~ su(2) in the
super-critical phase. In the critical phase the spin degrees of freedom are
frozen and supersymmetry disappears.
