collaboration report:

The 2-m Liverpool Telescope began observing Swift GRB161022A (Stamatikos 
et al., GCN 20087) with the RINGO3 polarimeter on October 22, 02:46:59 
UT (199 s since trigger). Within the prompt enhanced XRT error circle 
(Evans et al. GCN 20088) we found nothing brighter than 20.5 mag in the 
SDSS-R filter at a mid time of 35 minutes post burst.
