Let \(M\) be a \(C^2\)-regular surface immersed in \(\mathbb R^3\), which consists of one embedded connected component outside a compact set. The authors prove that if \(M\) has non-positive Gaussian curvature and a square integrable second fundamental form, then \(M\) lies between two parallel planes of \(\mathbb R^3\).
