report on behalf of the MAXI team:

We report the non-detection of the IceCube-161210 event 
(Blaufuss GCN 20247) by MAXI/GSC.
The event region was observed with MAXI/GSC at T0+12 min 
(T0 = 2016/12/10 20:07:16), and no significant enhancement was 
detected. A typical 3 sigma upper limit in the 4-10 keV band 
in a single scan transit is 20 mCrab.

We note that the GCN/MAXI NOTICE (EVENT_ID_NUM 732899998)
at 02:27 on 11 December 2016 was unintentionally distributed,
triggered by an email to the MAXI mailing list to inform 
this non-detection. We aplogize for the confusion.
