report on behalf of the MAXI team:

We report the non-detection of MAXI/GSC of GRB 230307A 
(Fermi-GBM GCN #33405, #33407 #33411; GECAM GCN #33406, 
Solar Orbiter STIX GCN #33410; AGILE/MCAL GCN #33412;
HEND/Mars Odyssey, INTEGRAL SPI-ACS, Swift/BAT GCN #33413;
AstroSat CZTI GCN #33415; GRBAlpha GCN #33418; 
VZLUSAT-2 GCN #33424; Konus-Wind GCN #33427;
AstroSat LAXPC GCN #33437; ASO-S/HXI GCN #33438;
).
At 15:58:54 UT on 2023-03-07 (888s after the Fermi/GBM trigger),
MAXI/GSC scanned the error region of the event.
The scan time of the five consecutive scans were
17:31:49 (t0+6463s), 19:04:40 (t0+12034s), 20:37:36 (t0+17610s),
22:10:27 (t0+23181s), and 23:43:22 (t0+28756s).
No significant excess emission was detected from the region. 
Typical 1-sigma upper limits in 2-20 keV for one scan (and six scans) are
20 mCrab (and 8 mCrab).
