M. M. Chester (PSU) and C. B. Markwardt (NASA/GSFC)
report on behalf of the Swift/UVOT team:

The Swift/UVOT began settled observations of the field of GRB 120320A
175 s after the BAT trigger (Markwardt et al., GCN Circ 13071).
No optical afterglow consistent with the enhanced XRT position
(Beardmore et al., GCN Circ 13075) or optical candidate reported
by Levan et al. (GCN Circ 13077) is detected in the initial UVOT
exposures.  Preliminary 3-sigma upper limits using the UVOT
photometric system (Breeveld et al. 2011, AIP Conf. Proc. 1358, 373)
for the first finding chart (FC) exposure and subsequent exposures are:

uvw2        639        11148        570      >20.9

The magnitudes in the table are not corrected for the Galactic  
extinction
due to the reddening of E(B-V) = 0.03 in the direction of the burst
(Schlegel et al. 1998).
