T. Pritchard (PSU) and E. Troja (NASA/GSFC/ORAU)
report on behalf of the Swift/UVOT team:

The Swift/UVOT began settled observations of the field of GRB 110119A
67 s after the BAT trigger (Troja et al., GCN Circ. 11581).  We  find
a detection in the data consistent with the enhanced  XRT position
(Evans et al., GCN Circ. 11582).

Preliminary 3-sigma upper limits using the UVOT photometric system
(Poole et al. 2008, MNRAS, 383, 627) for the first finding chart (FC)
exposure and subsequent exposures are:

The values quoted above are not corrected for the Galactic extinction
due to the reddening of E(B-V) = 0.12 in the direction of the burst
(Schlegel et al. 1998).
