report on behalf of the MAXI team:

We examined MAXI/GSC all-sky X-ray images (2-20 keV)
after the LVC trigger S190910d at 2019-09-10 01:26:19.242 UTC (GCN 25695).

At the trigger time of S190910d, 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 100%
of the 90% credible region of the bayestar skymap from 01:26:19 to 02:58:18 UTC (T0+0 to T0+5519 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.
