Abstract: In order to determine when surface-by-surface bundles are non-positively curved, Llosa Isenrich and Py give a necessary condition: given a surface-by-surface group $G$ with infinite monodromy, if $G$ is CAT(0) then the monodromy representation is injective. We extend this to a more general result: Let $G$ be a group with a normal surface subgroup $R$. Assume $G/R$ satisfies the property that for every infinite normal subgroup $Lambda$ of $G/R$, there is an infinite subgroup $Lambd{a}_0<Lambda$ so that the centralizer $C_{G/R}(Lambd{a}_0)$ is finite. If $G$ is CAT(0) with infinite monodromy, then the monodromy representation has a finite kernel. We prove that acylindrically hyperbolic groups satisfy this property.
