We present a discussion of the interaction correction to conductivity in a disordered system of fermions interacting via a Chern-Simons gauge field. To first order in the interaction, we find a large positive Hartree correction to the conductivity. To account for higher orders in the interaction, we discuss effects of dephasing (at high temperatures) and screening (at low temperatures) on the Hartree correction. At sufficiently high temperatures, the Hartree correction is strongly suppressed by dephasing. At very low temperatures, the correction changes its sign to negative due to screening.
