A search was conducted for TeV gamma-rays emitted from the direction of theultra-high energy cosmic ray detected by the Fly's Eye Experiment with E ~ 3 x10**20 eV. No enhancement was found at a level of 10**-10 gamma/cm**2-sec forE>350 GeV. This upper limit is consistent with theoretical estimates based ontopological defects as sources of UHE cosmic rays. An upper limit was also setfor the flux of TeV gamma rays from 3C147, the most prominent AGN in the errorbox.Comment: 18 pages, 4 figures, Latex with AAS macros, submitted to Ap
