Abstract: Given a closed subset $La$ of the open unit ball $B_{1}subsetea{l}^n$, $ngeq3$, we will consider a complete Riemannian metric $g$ on $$ of constant scalar curvature equal to $n(n-1)$ and conformally related to the Euclidean metric. In this paper we prove that every closed Euclidean ball $$ is convex with respect to the metric $g$, assuming the mean curvature of the boundary $partial{B}_1$ is nonnegative with respect to the inward normal.
