We have searched for proton decay via p -> e+ pi0 using data from a 25.5
kton-year exposure of the Super-Kamiokande detector. We find no candidate
events with an expected background induced by atmospheric neutrinos of 0.1
events. From these data, we set a lower limit on the partial lifetime of the
proton to be 1.6E33 years at a 90% confidence level.
