Abstract
We examine the curvature expansion of the field equations of a four-dimensi onal higher-spin gauge theory extension of anti-de Sitter gravity, The theo ry contains massless particles of spin 0, 2, 4, ... that arise in the symme tric product of two spin-0 singletons. We cast the curvature expansion into manifestly covariant form and elucidate the structure of the equations and observe a significant simplification.
