The AMI Large Array robotically triggered on the Swift alert for GRB 
161007A (D'Elia et al., GCN 20008) as part of the 4pisky program, and 
subsequent follow up observations were obtained up to 10 days 
post-burst. Our observations at 15 GHz on 2016 Oct 08.05, Oct 09.25, Oct 
11.25 and Oct 15.25 (UT) do not reveal any radio source at the XRT 
location (Goad et al., GCN 20013), with 3sigma upper limits of 372 uJy, 
273 uJy, 333 uJy and 222 uJy respectively.

We thank the AMI staff for scheduling these observations. The AMI-GRB 
database is a log of all GRB follow up observations with the AMI, and is 
available at http://4pisky.org/ami-grb/.
