MASTER II  robotic telescope (MASTER-Net: http://observ.pereplet.ru) 
located in Kislovodsk was pointed to the GRB110315A (Melandri et al., GCN 
11790) 44 sec s 
after notice time and 89 sec after GRB time at 2011-03-15 23:58:33.212 UT.
On our first (20s exposure) set we haven`t found optical transient  within 
SWIFT BAT error-box (ra=18 36 45 dec=+17 31 48 ).
The 3-sigma upper limit has been about 17.3 mag
The upper limit for 25 coadded images is 20.0 started 23:58:33.212 UT 
(mean time after trigger is 3240 sec ). 
The Galactic absroption in this direction is about 1 mag (Kalbela et al., 
2005, A&A,440,775).
