report on behalf of the MAXI team: 

We examined MAXI/GSC all-sky X-ray images (2-20 keV) 
after the LVC trigger S190930t at 2019-09-30 14:34:07.685 UTC (GCN 25876). 

At the trigger time of S190930t, the high-voltage of MAXI/GSC was on. 
The instantaneous field of view of GSC at the GW trigger time covered 2% of the 90% credible region 
of the bayestar sky map, in which we found no significant new X-ray source. 
The first one-orbit (92 min) scan observation with GSC after the event covered 75% 
of the 90% credible region of the bayestar skymap from 14:34:07 to 16:06:04 UTC (T0+0 to T0+5517 sec). 

No significant new source was found in the region in the one-orbit scan observation. 
A typical 1-sigma averaged upper limit obtained in one scan observation 
is 20 mCrab at 2-20 keV.
