report on behalf of the MITSuME collaboration:

We searched for the optical counterpart of GRB171102B (T. N. Ukwatta et
al., GCN Circular #22082) with the optical three color (g', Rc, and Ic) CCD
cameras attached to the MITSuME 50 cm telescope of Akeno Observatory,
Yamanashi, Japan.

The observation started on 2017-11-03 09:05:03.04 UT . We did not find any
new point source within XRT circle in all three bands.

We obtained following limits for the magnitudes.
