Abstract
We show that for three dimensional spacetimes admitting a hypersurface orthogonal Killing vector field, Deser, Jackiw and Templeton's vacuum field equations of topologically massive gravity allow only the trivial flat spacetime solution. Thus spin is necessary to support topological mass.Keywords
