I analyze the effect of an interplane single-electron hopping between two bidimensional [ital t]-[ital J] lattices on the superconducting transition temperature. Mean-field theories of the [ital t]-[ital J] model predict [ital d]-wave superconductivity at a very high temperature ([ital T][sub [ital c]][sup 0][approx]0.15[ital J]). I show that a single-electron hopping can reduce strongly the critical temperature [ital T][sub [ital c]][sup 0]. For sufficiently large values of the hopping parameter, superconductivity is suppressed for doping lower than a critical finite doping [delta][sub [ital c]], and the critical temperature [ital T][sub [ital c]][sup 0] assumes practically a constant value at intermediate doping 0.08[le][delta][le]0.24. These results are in good qualitative agreement with the well-known phase diagram of the high-[ital T][sub [ital c]] copper oxides.
