UVOT team

   The Swift UVOT began observing the field of GRB 050701
(Boyd et al, GCN 3356) 1.6 hours after the trigger.

   No new source is detected within the 6 arcsec radius XRT
error circle (Racusin et al., GCN 3557).

  We report the following 3 sigma magnitude upper limits.

  Filter  T_middle(s)  Exposure(s)   Upper limit
    V       13730         670           19.61
    B       11940         900           20.78
    U       7860          637           20.17
   UVW1     7110          900           20.5
   UVM2     6210          900           20.5
   UVW2     12890         900           20.71

   The magnitudes are based on preliminary zero-points, measured
in orbit, and will require refinement with further calibration.
