We acquired imaging of the field of short-hard burst GRB 100216A
(Cummings et al., GCN 10428) on 2010-02-19 starting at 07:31 UT, using
LRIS on Keck 1. A total of 660 seconds of imaging was acquired in
R-band and 900 seconds in g-band simultaneously. The imaging covers
approximately 90% of the BAT error circle including the nearby galaxy
mentioned in GCN 10428, a barred spiral at z=0.0378. In a preliminary
reduction of the R-band frames we identify no new source within the
field, down to the SDSS limit of approximately R>22 mag.
