report on behalf of the MITSuME collaboration:

We searched for the optical counterpart of GRB 171124A (F. Longo  et
al., GCN Circular #22156) with the optical three color (g', Rc, and Ic) CCD
cameras attached to the MITSuME 50 cm telescope of Akeno Observatory,
Yamanashi, Japan.
The observation started on 2017-11-24 11:02:40.53 UT. We did not find any
new point source within enhanced LAT circle in all three bands.
We obtained following limits for the magnitudes.

T0+[hour]    MID-UT      T-EXP[sec]    g'       Rc        Ic

T0+ : Elapsed time after the burst
T-EXP: Total Exposure time
We used UCAC-4 catalog for flux calibration.
