For a source within the Swift-XRT error circle (Mingo, et al., GCN 20050), in comparison with the SDSS DR9 and 2MASS catalogs, we obtain the following detections and upper limits (3-sigma): r 22.89 +/- 0.12 i 22.24 +/- 0.10 Z 22.01 +/- 0.15 Y > 21.60 J 21.19 +/- 0.15 H > 20.48 This source is consistent with the source reported in Morita et al., (GCNs 20036, 20046), Guidorzi et al., (GCN 20037), Xin et al., (GCN 20038), Nakaoka et al., (GCN 20039), Mazaeva et al., (GCN 20042), and Melandri et al., (GCN 20048). These magnitudes are in the AB system and are not corrected for Galactic extinction in the direction of the GRB. We thank the staff of the Observatorio Astronómico Nacional in San Pedro Mártir.
