We report on radio observations with the Very Large Array of the type
Ib supernova iPTF13bvn (ATel #5137, #5151).
On 2013 April 27.0 UT, we triggered VLA observations at the position
of iPTF13bvn at 4.8 & 7.1 GHz. No radio emission is detected in either
of the frequency bands at the position of the supernova. We place
an upper limit of 6 microJy. At the distance of iPTF13bvn (24
Mpc) this implies a radio spectral luminosity of < 4 x 10^24 erg/s/Hz.
We thank the NRAO staff for carrying out this observation.
