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

The trigger S250108ha, initially reported because of a coincidence with Fermi/GBM trigger 758061038/250108855, is no longer considered to be a candidate of interest. 

That Fermi trigger is no longer classified as a GRB. Without this, the GW candidate’s significance is below our alert threshold.
