We present limits on anisotropy in the cosmic microwave background radiation (CMB) on angular scales of 1'--4'. The observations were made at a wavelength of 2.1mm using the Sunyaev-Zel'dovich Infrared Experiment (SuZIE) bolometer array at the Caltech Submillimeter Observatory (CSO). Two patches of sky (36'x 4'), free of known sources, were observed for a total of 7 hours each, achieving a sensitivity of 150mu K in each of ~ 80 independent 1farcm7 pixels. These data have been combined with various ``toy'' models for the correlation function of CMB anisotropies. A gaussian autocorrelation function (GACF) sets limits of Delta T/T < 2x 10(-5) for coherence angles 0.6'
