We have observed the field of the AGILE GRB 100331B
(Del Monte et al. GCN 10560) using the 0.6m Yock-Allen robotic
telescope (BOOTES-3) located in Blenheim, New Zealand.
A combined 36x60s unfiltered exposure with mean epoch 1st
April 2010 at 16:30 UT (19.2 hours after the burst) obtained through
cirrus does not show any source within the Swift/XRT error circle
(D'Elia et al. GCN 10562) down to a 3-sigma limiting magnitude
of R~18.5 using USNO-B1.0 as photometric reference.
