Bailyn, and P. van Dokkum (Yale) report\non behalf of the larger SMARTS collaboration:\n\n\"The object inside the first XMM error circle (Santos-Lleo & Calderon,\nGCN #2464) reported in Hsia et al. (GCN #2470) is unlikely to be\nrelated to GRB 031203 (Gotz GCN #2459) by two accounts. First, as\nreported in Bailyn et al. (GCN #2468), the source did not vary by more\nthan 0.1 magnitudes from about 4 to 7 hours after the GRB, as is the\ncase for all sources I<22 mag in the XMM error boxes. Second, the\nsource is present in the DSS-II scan of the F-plate image (dated 18\nMarch 1991).  We also clarify that both the REM and the ANDICAM\npositions lie outside the nominal 6 arcsec error radius of the first\nXMM source.\"\n   For finding charts, see http://www-cfa.harvard.edu/~jbloom/grb031203\n\nThis message can be cited.",
