triggered the CALET Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (CGBM) at 09:08:43.975 UTC
on 12 April 2020. The burst signal was seen by all CGBM detectors.

The burst light curve shows a multi-peaked structure which starts
at T-0.3 sec, peaks at T+6.2 sec and ends at T+13.1 sec. The T90 and T50
durations measured by the SGM data are 6.1 +- 0.5 sec and 1.8 +- 0.1 sec
(40-1000 keV), respectively.

The ground processed light curve is available at

http://cgbm.calet.jp/cgbm_trigger/ground/1270717362/

The CALET data used in this analysis are provided by
the Waseda CALET Operation Center located at the Waseda University.
