J. S. Bloom (UC Berkeley) reports:

"We observed the field of GRB 050925 (=Swift #156838), a possible new  
SGR (Holland et al. GCN #4034), with the PAIRITEL 1.3m starting on  
2005-09-26 02:44:26 UTC. We find no significantly detected source  
within 1 arcsec of the bright radio source reported by van der Horst  
(GCN #4039). The approximate 5 sigma upper limits in the 1490 sec  
integration is Ks > 18.3 mag, H > 18.5, and J > 19.3 mag. Further  
observations are planned."
