We observed the field of GRB 140713A (Mangano et al., GCN #16581) with the
1.0 meter T100 telescope (TUBITAK National Observatory, Antalya - Turkey),
starting on July 13, 20:14:06 UT (~ 1.5 hours after the trigger). We
obtained 5 x 300 s exposures with R filters under good weather conditions.


We do not detect an optical afterglow within the reported XRT error circle
down to a limiting magnitude of >19.9 (2-sigma) in the combined R band
image.


We are grateful to the TUBITAK National Observatory staff for promptly
scheduling the observations and their technical support.
