���Further to GCNCs 19145, 18848, 18811 and 18786, we report the
spectroscopic follow-up of the Pan-STARRS transient PS15dpn within the
localisation region of G211117. OSIRIS spectra (2 x 600s) at the 10.4m
GTC in La Palma were taken on 5 Jan 2016 and covered the range 700-1000
nm. r-band photometric observations were performed near-simultaneously
to the optical spectroscopy. We confirm the z=0.1749 redshift from the
host galaxy based on the detection of H-alpha and NII emission lines in
this range.���
