Cenko (Caltech),\nreport on behalf of a larger collaboration:\n\n\"Starting on 2008 April 13.27 UT we observed GRB 080413A (GCN 7593 and\n7594) with the GMOS spectrograph on the Gemini South telescope. We\nobtained 2x1200-sec spectra in the wavelength range 3900-8000A. The\nresolution of our spectrum is 5.2 Ang/pixel (R ~1200 at 6000A). We\nclearly observe several metal absorption features corresponding to the\nSiIV (1393,1402 A), CIV (1548, 1550A), SiII (1526A), and AlII (1670A)\ntransitions.  A Lyman break is also present at the blue edge of our\nspectra (~ 4170A).  These identifications are consistent with a host\ngalaxy redshift of z = 2.43, confirming the result reported from VLT\nobservations by Thoene et al.(GCN 7602).\"",
