R. Chornock, R. J. Foley, W. Li, and A. V. Filippenko report that:

The Katzman Automatic Imaging Telescope at Lick Observatory slewed to the 
position of GRB 080310 and found a new source not present in the DSS:

14:40:13.81  -00:10:30.6

at about magnitude 17.  The new object is detected in V, I, and unfiltered 
images starting at 14:40:20.04 UT.  We suggest it may be the afterglow of GRB 
080310.
