We prove that a spacelike surface in L 3 with nonzero constant mean curvature and foliated by pieces of circles in spacelike planes is a surface of revolution. When the planes containing the circles are timelike or null, examples of nonrotational constant mean curvature surfaces constructed by circles are presented. Finally, we prove that a nonzero constant mean curvature spacelike surface foliated by pieces of circles in parallel planes is a surface of revolution.
