We detect the afterglow\nin a single 300 sec exposure with the Imager at Feb 26.67 UT.  Using the\nsame reference star as von Braun et al. (GCN #1881), we measure that the\nafterglow was R ~ 19.2 mag at the epoch of our observation.  The derived\ntemporal decay index is alpha ~ 0.88, in agreement with the earlier index\nreported by Fox et al. (GCN #1883).\n\nThis message may be cited.",
