MASTER II  robotic telescope (MASTER-Net: http://observ.pereplet.ru) 
located in Kislovodsk was automaticaly inspected  GRB140814A  (Uchida et 
al., GCN 16686) error box. The observations was started at 2014-08-14 
17:36:16 UT i.e.  37425 sec (~10.3 h) after trigger time directly after 
sunset and proceeded within ~1 hour. We cover full MAXI error-box (Uchida 
et al. GCN 16686).  On our single and coadd images we not found credible 
optical transient brighter then 20.0m .

The 5-sigma upper limit has been about 18.5m on single 180 s image and 
20.0m on coadd of 10 images with total exposure 1800 s.
