The long GRB 231204A (Fermi GBM Final Real-time Localization: 
Fermi GBM team, GCN Circ. 35258; AstroSat CZTI detection: 
Waratkar et al., GCN Circ. 35267) triggered the CALET Gamma-ray
Burst Monitor (CGBM) at 20:00:00.75 UTC on 4 December 2023
(http://cgbm.calet.jp/cgbm_trigger/flight/1385755095/).
The burst signal was seen by only the SGM detector.

The burst light curve shows a weak pulse that starts
at T+3.1 sec, peaks at T+4.1 sec, and ends at T+7.9 sec.
The T90 and T50 durations measured by the SGM data are 4.5 +/- 0.5 sec
and 2.5 +/- 0.1 sec (40-1000 keV), respectively.

The ground-processed light curve is available at

http://cgbm.calet.jp/cgbm_trigger/ground/1385755095/index.html

The CALET data used in this analysis are provided by
the Waseda CALET Operation Center located at Waseda University.
