The long GRB 110610A (Swift/BAT trigger #455155, GCN 12065; Marshall et al.,)
triggered the Suzaku Wide-band  All-sky Monitor (WAM) which covers an
 energy range of 50 keV - 5 MeV at 15:22:6.198 UT (=T0).

The observed light curve shows a multi-peaked structure starting at
T0-53s, ending
 at T0+10s with a duration  (T90) of 47 +/- 10 seconds.
 The fluence in 100 - 1000 keV was  4.57 (-0.60, +0.53) x 10^-6 erg/cm^2.
 The 1-s peak flux measured from T0+1s was 1.44 +/- 0.15
photons/cm^2/s in the same  energy range.

result shows that the time-averaged spectrum from T0-53s to
T0+10s is well fitted by a single power-law with a photon index
of 2.07 (-0.13, 0.15) (chi^2/d.o.f = 34.5/26).

All the quoted errors are at statistical 90% confidence level.
