report on behalf of the MAXI team:
We examined MAXI/GSC all-sky X-ray images (2-20 keV)
after the LVC trigger S191204r at 2019-12-04 17:15:26.092 UTC (GCN 26334).
At the trigger time of S191204r, the high-voltage of MAXI/GSC was off,
and it was turned on at T0+1159 sec (+19.3 min).
The first one-orbit (92 min) scan observation with GSC after the event covered 100%
of the 90% credible region of the bayestar skymap from 17:35:26 to 17:54:51 UTC (T0+1200 to T0+2365 sec).
No significant new source was found in the region in the one-orbit scan observation.
A typical 1-sigma averaged upper limit obtained in one scan observation
is 20 mCrab at 2-20 keV.
