Abstract
We use the technique of Batalin and Fradkin to convert the second class fermionic constraints of the massive superparticle into first class constraints. Then the Batalin-Vilkovisky formalism is used to quantize covariantly the resulting theory. Appropriate gauge fixing conditions lead to a completely quadratic action. But the presence of Batalin-Fradkin decoupled components apparently removes the advantage gained from the conversion of second class constraints into first class constraints.
