MASTER II  robotic telescope (MASTER-Net: http://observ.pereplet.ru) 
located in Blagoveschensk was pointed to the  GRB140320C (Mereghetti et. 
al GCN 16007) 25 sec after notice time and 33 sec after trigger time at 2014-03-20 13:18:13 UT in two 
polarizations. We haven`t found optical 
transient  within INTEGRAL error-box  on single and coadd images.
The 5-sigma upper limit has been about 16.8 mag on first single 10 sec 
image.
On coadd of 11 first images with different exposures and total exosure 
time 610 sec the 5-sigma upper limit has been about 20.0 mag in bosh 
polarization.
