report:

The 25cm robotic telescope FRAM-ORM at La Palma (Spain) reacted robotically
to the GBM/Swift/CALET alert of GRB200303A (Cenko et al, GCNC 27297, Goad
et al. GCNC 27300, Asaoka et al. GCNC 27301 and Fermi GBM team GCNC 27294),
obtaining a series of 20s unfiltered images starting at 02:35:38.75UT, i.e.
41.3s post trigger.

We do not detect any new source in comparison to USNO-B2.0 catalog neither
in single images (3-sigma limit R>~17.9) nor in a combined 20x20s frame
(mean exp time 289s post trigger, 3-sigma limit R>~19.5) similarly to de
Ugarte et al. (GCNC 27303) and Mong et al. (GCNC 27304)
