We study the analytical structure of the fermion propagator in planar quantumelectrodynamics coupled to a Chern-Simons term within a four-component spinorformalism. The dynamical generation of parity-preserving and parity-violatingfermion mass terms is considered, through the solution of the correspondingSchwinger-Dyson equation for the fermion propagator at leading order of the 1/Napproximation in Landau gauge. The theory undergoes a first order phasetransition toward chiral symmetry restoration when the Chern-Simons coefficient$\theta$ reaches a critical value which depends upon the number of fermionfamilies considered. Parity-violating masses, however, are generated forarbitrarily large values of the said coefficient. On the confinement scenario,complete charge screening --characteristic of the 1/N approximation-- isobserved in the entire $(N,\theta)$-plane through the local and globalproperties of the vector part of the fermion propagator.
