E. Berger (Princeton/Carnegie) reports on behalf of a larger 
collaboration:

"We observed the refined BAT error circle of GRB 080229 (GCN #7338) with 
GMOS on the Gemini-South telescope starting on 2008 Mar 1.26 UT (13.1 
hours after the burst).  We obtained a total of 5x120 sec in g,r,i,z is 
0.8" seeing.  We do not detect any sources within the XRT error circle 
(GCN #7343) to the following 3-sigma magnitude limits: g>26.0, r>25.9, 
i>25.6, z>25.3."
