Veilleux (UMD) report:\n\nWe observed the field of the short GRB 201214B (Simpson et al.,\nGCN 29045; Fermi GBM team, GCN 29039) using the Large Monolithic Imager\n(LMI) on the 4.3m Lowell Discovery Telescope (LDT) at Happy Jack, AZ.\nObservations started on December 15, at 11:21 UT (about 19.2 hours after\nthe Swift trigger) using the SDSS r, i and z filters. Observations were\ntaken at an airmass of about 1.3 and seeing of about 2.5\". Our average\nsensitivity is i<23.5 AB mag.\n\nWe do not detect any uncatalogued optical source at the position of the\nSwift/XRT sources reported by Tohuvavohu et al. (GCN 29052).\n\nBy cross-correlating the refined BAT localization with the GLADE v2.3\ngalaxy catalog (Dalya et al. 2018), as described in Dichiara et al.\n(2020), we note the presence of a nearby lenticular galaxy\n(HyperLEDA-1359588 at ~280 Mpc) within the BAT error circle.\n\nFurther observations are planned.\n\nWe thank the staff of the Lowell Discovery Telescope for assistance with\nthese observations.",
