The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, and the KAGRA Collaboration report:

The trigger S240423br is no longer considered to be a candidate of interest. Looking at the data, the trigger was due to non-stationary noise in the LIGO Livingston detector. Pipeline and data quality experts recommended a retraction.
