At the trigger time of the compact binary merger candidate
S230529ay T0 = 2023-05-29 18:15:00 UT (The LIGO Scientific
Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, the KAGRA Collaboration,
GCN Circ. 33889, 33891) the CALET Gamma-ray Burst Monitor
(CGBM) high voltages were off (from T0-2 min to T0+3 min).
The CALET Calorimeter (CAL) was operating in the high energy trigger
mode at the trigger time of S230529ay. Using the CAL data, we searched
for gamma-ray events in the 10-100 GeV band from -60 sec to +60 sec from
the GW trigger time and found no candidates in the overwrap region with the
LVK high probability localization region. The 90% upper limit of CAL is
1.2 x 10^-5 erg/cm^2/s (10-100 GeV) when the summed LVK probability reaches
20%. The CAL FOV was centered at RA = 118 deg, DEC = +47 deg at T0.
