IceCube Collaboration (http://icecube.wisc.edu/) reports: A search for track-like muon neutrino events detected by IceCube consistent with the sky localization of gravitational-wave candidate S230522n in a time range of 1000 seconds centered on the alert event time (2023-05-22 15:22:13.000 UTC to 2023-05-22 15:38:53.000 UTC) has been performed [1,2]. During this time period IceCube was collecting good quality data. No significant track-like events are found in spatial coincidence of S230522n calculated from the map circulated in the 2-Preliminary notice. IceCube's sensitivity assuming an E^-2 spectrum (E^2 dN/dE) to neutrino point sources within the locations spanned by the 90% spatial containment of S230522n ranges from 0.028 to 1.133 GeV cm^-2 in a 1000 second time window. The IceCube Neutrino Observatory is a cubic-kilometer neutrino detector operating at the geographic South Pole, Antarctica. The IceCube realtime alert point of contact can be reached at roc@icecube.wisc.edu. [1] M. G. Aartsen et al 2020 ApJL 898 L10 [2] Abbasi et al. Astrophys.J. 944 (2023) 1, 80
