Prochaska (UCSC/UCO Lick) \nreport on behalf of a larger collaboration:\n\nOn January 19.20 UT (53 minutes after the BAT trigger) \nwe observed the optical counterpart of GRB 120119A \n(Beardmore et al., GCN 12859) using GMOS-South on the \nGemini-South 8-m telescope.  \n\nSpectroscopic observation covering 4000-8000 Angstrom wavelength \nrange reveals several absorption features, including AlIII1854, \n1862, FeII2586,2600, MnII2606, MgII2796,2803 at a common \nredshift of 1.728.\nAlso at least an intervening system is present at z=1.212\nbased on strong MgII2796 absorption features.\n\nWe therefore suggest this to be the redshift of GRB 120119A.\n\nWe thank the Gemini staff for performing this observation.",
