Fumagalli (Carnegie Observatory/\nPrinceton University), report on behalf of a larger collaboration \nreports:\n\nOn February 15.1 UT (~50 minutes after the BAT trigger) we observed \nthe field of GRB 130215A (D'Elia et al., GCN 14204, Zheng et al GCN \n14205) using the KAST Spectrograph on the Lick Shane 3-m telescope.  \n\nThe optical candidate is clearly detected.\nWe obtained a 2x600s spectrum, covering the wavelength range 3500-8000A\n\nThe spectrum reveals strong absorption lines of MgII2796, MgII2803,\nMgI2853, FeII2586, FeII2600, and Ca H&K.  \nA provisional reduction gives a redshift of z=0.597, which we believe \nis most likely the redshift of this burst.\n \nWe thank the Lick Observatory staff for their prompt support.",
