We derive the explicit forms of Fefferman's metric for a Cauchy-Riemann space admitting a solution of the tangential Cauchy-Riemann equation and of the corresponding Weyl tensor. We show that its Petrov type is 0 in the case of the hyperquadric or N in all other cases, and that the Fefferman class of metrics does not contain any nonflat solution of Einstein's vacuum equations with cosmological constant.
