We present the first angular clustering measurement
of ultraviolet-selected galaxies at low redshift (
)
using data from the FOCA survey. We measure the galaxy autocorrelation
function 
from three separate fields with 
(AB). Assuming 
, we obtain 
and 
, as a best fit to the data, which yields
a correlation length 
Mpc. This estimate is
formally lower than those obtained from optically selected 
galaxy
samples, although the difference is within errors.
