Zach Golkhou (U. Wash.), and Vicki Toy (UMD) report: We observed the field of GRB 180402A (Lien, et al., GCN 22580) with the Reionization and Transients Infrared Camera (RATIR; www.ratir.org) on the 1.5m Harold Johnson Telescope at the Observatorio Astronómico Nacional on Sierra San Pedro Mártir from 2018/04 2.41 to 2018/04 2.50 UTC (1.8 minutes to 2.33 hours after the BAT trigger), obtaining a total of 1.76 hours exposure in the r and i bands. For a source within the Swift-XRT error circle, in comparison with the USNO-B1 catalog, we obtain the following upper limits (3-sigma): r > 23.3 i > 23.3 These magnitudes are in the AB system and are not corrected for Galactic extinction in the direction of the GRB.
