S. T. Holland (STScI)
reports on behalf of the Swift/UVOT team:

     The Swift/UVOT observed the field of GRB 120802A starting 70 s
after the BAT trigger (Holland et al., 2012, GCNC 13555).  Settled
observations started at 87 s.  We do not detect any source inside the
UVOT-enhanced XRT error circle (Evans et al., 2012, GCNC 13558).
Preliminary magnitudes 3-sigma upper limits at this location for the
finding charts (FC) and the co-added images, are
