report on behalf of the MDM Observatory GRB follow-up team:

"We observed the position of GRB 060102 in the R band using the MDM 1.3m.
The sum of three 5-minute exposures beginning on Jan. 3 02:28 UT, or
5.2 hours after the burst, shows no new object within the revised BAT
error circle (Krimm et al., GCN 4425) to a 5-sigma limit of R > 20.5
(statistical + systematic) in comparison with the Digitized Sky Survey."
