  In this paper we will examine the consequence of a canonical theory of
quantum dust collapse in 2+1 dimensions. The solution of the WDW equation
describing the collapse indicates that collapsing shells outside the apparent
horizon are accompanied by outgoing shells within the apparent horizon during
their collapse phase and stop collapsing once they reach the apparent horizon.
Taking this picture of quantum collapse seriously, we determine a static
solution with energy density corresponding to a dust ball whose collapse has
terminated at the apparent horizon. We show that the boundary radius of the
ball is larger than the BTZ radius confirming that no event horizon is formed.
The ball is sustained by radial pressure which we determine and which we
attribute to the Unruh radiation within it.
