We study Riemannian manifolds M admitting a semi-symmetric metric connection (The Symbol is abbreviated) such that the vector field U is a parallel unit vector field with respect to the Levi-Civita connection ▽. We prove that R•R=0 if and only if M is semisymmetric; if R•R=0 or R•R-R•R=0 or M is semisymmetric and R•R=0, then M is conformally flat and quasi-Einstein. Here R and R denote the curvature tensors of ▽ and (The Symbol is abbreviated), respectively.
