Abstract: We show that for a generic simple closed curve $ \Gamma$ in the asymptotic boundary of a Gromov hyperbolic $ 3$-space with cocompact metric $ X$, there exists a unique least area plane $ \Sigma$ in $ X$ such that $ \partial_{\infty}\Sigma = \Gamma$. This result has interesting topological applications for constructions of canonical $ 2$-dimensional objects in Gromov hyperbolic $ 3$-manifolds.
