E. Berger (Carnegie Observatories) and S. Gonzalez (Las Campanas
Observatory) report:

"We imaged a field centered on the XRT error circle (GCN 3040) of GRB
050219a (GCN 3038) with the Las Campanas Observatory's Swope 40-in
telescope in the I-band for a total of 20 min (2005, Feb 20.264, 17.7
hours after the burst). We do not detect any sources within the 6.3 arcsec
radius XRT error circle to a limit of about 21.5 mag."
