report on behalf of the MAXI team:

The MAXI/GSC scanned the field of a probable Galactic source 
triggered by Swift BAT (trigger=547142; Cumming et al. GCN Circ. 14151) 
at 05:07:27 (69 min before the trigger) and 06:40:08 (24 min after the trigger)
UT on 2013-01-28.  The durations of each scan were 44 and 46 sec.  
No obvious source was detected by MAXI/GSC at the flight location of BAT.  
The 3 sigma upper limits of each scan derived by the MAXI/GSC data are 
6.8 and 8.1 x 10^-10 erg/cm2/s (4-10 keV).
