report on behalf of the Swift-UVOT team:

The Swift/UVOT observed the field of GRB080121 (trigger #301491)
starting 2.3 days after the BAT detection (J. R. Cummings et
al. 2008, GCN Circ. 7209Not found
 
 
). We do not find any new source in any
of the UVOT coadded observations inside the BAT error circle.

The 3-sigma upper limits (in the UVOT photometric system,
Breeveld et al., GCN Circ. 6614Not found
 
 
) are listed.

The values quoted above are not corrected for the expected Galactic
extinction corresponding to a reddening of E_{B-V} = 0.02  mag in the
direction of the burst (Schlegel et al. 1998).
