S. R. Oates (UCL-MSSL) and M. Stamatikos (OSU) report on behalf of the Swift/UVOT team:
We have further investigated source 2 from Oates et al. (GCN 15724). While this source
is not present in the USNO-B1 catalogue, it is present in the DSS and GSC-2.3 catalogue.
We therefore retract this source as a potential afterglow candidate for GRB 140110A.
We also note that source 1 is not within the IPN annulus (Hurley et al., GCN 15725) and
is therefore also unlikely to be the optical afterglow for this GRB.
