"We observed the field of the X-ray rich GRB 040403 detected
by INTEGRAL (GCN Circ. 2560, Gotz et al.) starting on 3 Apr
2004 (20:00 UT) with the 1.5 m telescope at the Observatorio
de Sierra Nevada in Granada. Imagery was obtained in the R-
band (6 x 600 s). Comparison images were adquired on 4 and 20
Apr 2004 (9 x 600 s). No optical variable source is detected
within the 3' radius error box provided by IBIS/IGRIS down
to a limiting magnitude of 22.2 (3 sigma) 15 hr after the
event. This might be indicative of a dark GRB."
