W. Landsman (NASA/GSFC/Adnet) and S. Holland ((CRESST/USRA/GSFC) report 
on behalf of the Swift/UVOT team:

The Swift/UVOT began settled observations of the field of GRB 100625A 
56s after the BAT trigger (Holland et al., GCN Circ. 10884). No optical 
afterglow consistent with the enhanced  XRT position (Page et al., GCN 
Circ. 10888) or the Gemini-South candidate afterglow position (Levan et 
al. GCN Circ. 10887) is detected in the initial UVOT exposures. 
Preliminary 3-sigma upper limits using the UVOT photometric system 
(Poole et al. 2008, MNRAS, 383, 627) for the first finding chart (FC) 
and subsequent exposures are:

The values quoted above are not corrected for the Galactic extinction 
due to the reddening of E(B-V) = 0.012 in the direction of the burst 
(Schlegel et al. 1998).
