Traditional canonical analysis utilizing similarities to the akin Husain-Kuchar SU(2) version of gravity has been performed. The model has been next quantized in the canonical path-integral Faddeev-Popov formalism yielding abelian BF theory.Minor changes, additional symmetry discussed. 5 pages, 2 columns, REVTeX 4General Relativity and Quantum CosmologyHigh Energy Physics - Theorytext
