report on behalf of the MAXI team:

We examined MAXI/GSC all-sky X-ray images (2-20 keV)
after the LVC trigger S191129u at 2019-11-29 13:40:29.197 UTC (GCN 26303).

At the trigger time of S191129u, the high-voltage of MAXI/GSC was off,
and it was turned on at T0+446 sec (+7.4 min).
The first one-orbit (92 min) scan observation with GSC after the event covered 77%
of the 90% credible region of the bayestar skymap from 13:59:21 to 14:59:00 UTC (T0+1132 to T0+4711 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.
