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