Fox (PSU) report on behalf of a larger\ncollaboration:\n\n\"Starting on 2008 Feb 10.49 UT we used the Marcario LRS spectrograph\non the Hobby-Eberly Telescope to obtain 2x 1200s spectra of the\noptical afterglow (Klotz, Boer & Atteia, GCN 7280) of GRB 080210\n(Grupe et al., GCN 7281).  The coadded spectrum covers the wavelength\nrange 4100 to 10,500 Ang.  We clearly detect a Ly-alpha absorption\nfeature as well as several metal features corresponding to FeII, SiII,\nCIV, AlII, MnII, the MgII doublet, and MgI at a redshift of z=2.64. No\nclear emission lines are evident in our spectrum.  Our observations\nare consistent with the redshift and features reported by Jakobsson et\nal. (GCN 7286).  We thank HET Resident Astronomer John Caldwell for\nperforming this observation.\"",
