The long GRB 231215A (Swift detection of a burst: D'Avanzo et al., 
GCN Circ. 35343; AstroSat CZTI detection: Navaneeth et al., 
GCN Circ. 35352; AGILE detection: Verrecchia et al., GCN Circ. 
35361) triggered the CALET Gamma-ray Burst Monitor 
(CGBM) at 09:47:15.26 UTC on 15 December 2023
(http://cgbm.calet.jp/cgbm_trigger/flight/1386668712/).
The burst signal was seen by all CGBM detectors.

The burst light curve shows a multi-peaked structure that starts
at T+1.5 sec, peaks at T+10.4 sec, and ends at T+20.4 sec.
The T90 and T50 durations measured by the SGM data are 
15.2 +/- 1.3 sec and 5.6 +/- 0.2 sec (40-1000 keV), respectively.

The ground-processed light curve is available at

http://cgbm.calet.jp/cgbm_trigger/ground/1386668712/index.html

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