report on behalf of the MAXI team:
We examined MAXI/GSC all-sky X-ray images (2-20 keV)
after the LVC trigger S200114f at 2020-01-14 02:08:18.239 UTC (GCN 26734).
At the trigger time of S200114f, the high-voltage of MAXI/GSC was off,
and it was turned on at T0+653 sec (+10.9 min).
The first one-orbit (92 min) scan observation with GSC after the event covered 100%
of the 90% credible region of the cWB skymap from 03:09:02 to 03:29:47 UTC (T0+3644 to T0+4889 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.
