The AMI Large Array triggered on the Swift alert for GRB 161217A (D'Elia
et al., GCN 20276) as part of the 4pisky program, and follow up
observations were obtained up to 10 days post-burst. Our observations at
15 GHz on 2016 Dec 23.16, Dec 24.15 and Dec 27.17 (UT) do not reveal any
radio source at the XRT location (Osborne et al., GCN 20278), with
3sigma upper limits of 84 uJy, 66 uJy and 77 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/.
