We report results from a search for the decay B{sub s}{sup 0}{yields}{mu}{sup +}{mu}{sup -} using 1.3 fb{sup -1} of pp collisions at {radical}(s)=1.96 TeV collected by the D0 experiment at the Fermilab Tevatron Collider. We find two candidate events, consistent with the expected background of 1.24{+-}0.99, and set an upper limit on the branching fraction of B(B{sub s}{sup 0}{yields}{mu}{sup +}{mu}{sup -})<1.2x10{sup -7} at the 95% C.L.
