At the time of the LIGO/VIRGO candidate G298389, Fermi was passing
through the South Atlantic Anomaly; therefore the GBM detectors
were disabled.
Upper limits on persistent emission over 48-hour period centered on
the LIGO/VIRGO trigger time using the Earth Occultation technique
(Wilson-Hodge et al. 2012, ApJS, 201, 33) will be forthcoming when
data become available.
