    The main result of this paper is that the asymptotic boundary of an imbedding of \({\mathbb{R}}^ 2\) with non-negative Gauss curvature into \(H^ 3\) is a single point. It is also proved that a surface in \(H^ 3\) that is locally strictly convex and has one point in its asymptotic boundary is the boundary of a convex body and homeomorphic to \({\mathbb{R}}^ 2\).
