Abstract: We show that if $N$, an open connected $n$-manifold with finitely generated fundamental group, is $C^2$ foliated by closed planes, then $p{i}_1(N)$ is a free group. This implies that if $p{i}_1(N)$ has an Abelian subgroup of rank greater than one, then $mathcalF$ has at least a non closed leaf. Next, we show that if $N$ is three dimensional with fundamental group abelian of rank greater than one, then $N$ is homeomorphic to $mathbb{T}^{2}imesmathbbR.$ Furthermore, in this case we give a complete description of the foliation.
