The branching fraction limit is transformed to a limit on Yukawa couplings $\sqrt{|Y_{\mu \ au}|^{2}+|Y_{\ au \mu}|^{2}} < 3.6 \ imes 10^{-3}$. These limits are an order of magnitude stronger than existing constraints set by indirect methods. A slight excess of signal events is observed in multiple categories with a combined significance of 2.4 $\sigma$ corresponding to a best fit branching fraction of $B(H \ o \mu \ au) = cache/0z708w34n04.txt txt/0z708w34n04.txt
