began taking data 32879 s after the burst.

No new source is detected in the UVOT field of view
within the INTEGRAL error circle in the B, U and UVW2
filters down to the following 5-sigma upper limits:

Filter  Limit  Exp (s)  T_start  T_stop

B       19.7     170     33786    34686
U       19.9     425     32879    33779
UVW2    20.2     241     34695    34936
