Abstract We report on an additional Swift observation of the black hole candidate MAXI J1659-152 (ATel #2873, GCN #11296) during the decay phase of its last outburst. One more observation was performed after our previous reports (ATel #3201, ATel #3249). The observation was taken on 2011-04-18 10:15:04 UT for about 1.4 ks in Photon Counting mode. Our previous results demonstrated that the source flux was slowly decreasing in time.
