A. N. Morgan (UC Berkeley) reports:

We observed the field of GRB 120521C (Baumgartner et al., GCN 13318)
with the 1.3m PAIRITEL located at Mt. Hopkins, Arizona. Observations
began at 2012-May-22 03h52m27s UT, ~4.5 hours after the Swift trigger.
 In  mosaics (effective exposure time of 1568 s) taken simultaneously
in the J, H, and Ks filters, we do not detect any source within the
enhanced XRT error circle (Beardmore et al. GCN 13324).
