OPINION

NIEMEYER, Circuit Judge:

On May 13, 1996, The Supreme Court handed down its decision

in 44 Liquormart, Inc. v. Rhode Island, 116 S. Ct. 1495 (1996), and

shortly thereafter vacated our decision in this case and remanded it to

us "for further consideration in light of 44 Liquormart, Inc. v. Rhode

Island." 116 S. Ct. 2575 (1996). We have read the opinion in 44

Liquormart and have considered its impact on the judgment in this

case. For the reasons given in Anheuser-Busch, Inc. v. Schmoke, 63

F.3d 1305 (4th Cir. 1995) (Anheuser-Busch I), as modified by our

decision today in Anheuser-Busch, Inc. v. Schmoke, ___ F.3d ___,

No. 94-1431 (4th Cir. Nov. 13, 1996) (Anheuser-Busch II), we conclude that 44

Liquormart does not require us to change our decision in this case.

Accordingly, we affirm the district court's judgment for the reasons

previously given and readopt our previous decision as modified by

Anheuser-Busch II. See Penn Adv. of Baltimore v. Mayor and City

Council of Baltimore, 63 F.3d 1318 (4th Cir. 1995).

IT IS SO ORDERED

BUTZNER, Senior Circuit Judge, dissenting:

I dissent for reasons that I explained in my dissent in No. 94-1431,

Anheuser-Busch, Inc. v. Schmoke, and No. 94-1432, Penn Advertising

of Baltimore, Inc. v. Curran.
