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.
