MASTER II  robotic telescope (MASTER-Net: http://observ.pereplet.ru) 
located in Kislovodsk was pointed to the  GRB120402B 10651 sec s after 
notice time and 10700 sec after GRB time at 2012-04-03 01:47:42.444 UT. On 
our first (180s exposure) set we haven`t found optical transient  within 
SWIFT error-box (ra=20 57 19 dec=+19 15 36 ).
The 5-sigma upper limit has been about 17.4mag
The long delay  was due to the weather conditions.
