MASTER II  robotic telescope (MASTER-Net: http://observ.pereplet.ru) 
located in Kislovodsk was pointed to the  GRB160313A 21 sec after notice 
time and 129 sec after trigger time at 2016-03-13 02:39:24 UT in two 
polarizations. On our first (30s exposure) and following coadd images 
we haven`t found optical transient  within SWIFT error-box (D'Ai et al GCN 
19171). The observations took during the morning twilight. We have a 5 
good images before they become overexposed.

The 5-sigma upper limit has been about 16.5 on first single (30s exposure) 
image and 17.2 on coadd (300 s exposure) image.
