    Abstract

    Let M_k be the complete, simply connected, Riemannian 2-manifold of constant
    curvature k \le 0. Let E be a closed, simply connected subspace of M_k with the
    property that every two points in E are connected by a rectifiable path in E.
    We show that E is CAT(0) under the induced path metric.
