Zach Golkhou (U.

In comparison with the USNO-B1 and 2MASS catalogs, we obtain\nthe following upper limits (3-sigma):\n\n r > 24.15\n i > 23.98\n Z > 22.96\n Y > 22.77\n J > 22.43\n H > 22.03\n\nThese magnitudes are in the AB system and are not corrected for Galactic\nextinction in the direction of the GRB.\n\nWe thank the staff of the Observatorio Astron��mico Nacional in San Pedro\nM��rtir.",
