MASTER II  robotic telescope (MASTER-Net: http://observ.pereplet.ru) 
located in Kislovodsk was pointed to the  GRB131128.63 12 sec  after 
notice time and 315 sec after GRB time at 2013-11-28 15:11:39.707 UT. On 
our first (60s exposure) set we haven`t found optical transient  within 
XRT SWIFT error-box.

There is bright star near XRT position USNO-A2.0 1200-19996598 R_mag ~ 12.
The 5-sigma upper limit has been about 17.1 mag.
We do not see OT at the Nanshan afterglow candidate position (Xu et al., 
GCN15535). 
The message may be cited.
