The three body Dirac equation is solved for the (1/2+)3 configuration in hypercentral approximation using a linear confining potential and a coulombic attractive term. This results in an exponential hyperradial dependence consistent with dipole fits to form factors. The proton magnetic moment is reproduced using 10 MeV quark masses, consistent with current mass values. The Roper resonance is reproduced at 1440 MeV. With confining potentials, the Schmidt limit for bound fermions is not valid for the magnetic moments of bound quarks. Constituent quark masses are not needed in this approach.
