We observed the field of GRB 200306A (Gropp et al., GCN Circ. 27326Loading...
 
 )
with the Reionization and Transients Infrared Camera (RATIR;
www.ratir.org) on the 1.5m Harold Johnson Telescope at the Observatorio
Astron��mico Nacional on Sierra San Pedro M��rtir from 2020/03 7.27 to
2020/03 7.54 UTC (7.61 to 14.01 hours after the BAT trigger), obtaining
a total of 4.31 hours exposure in the r and i bands.

For a source within the Swift-XRT error circle, in comparison with the
SDSS DR9 catalog, we obtain the following 3-sigma upper limits :

  r	> 23.34
  i	> 23.71

These magnitudes are in the AB system and are not corrected for Galactic
extinction in the direction of the GRB.
