Michigan)\nreport:\n\n\"We observed the optical afterglow (GCNs 8424, 8425, 8430) of GRB 081028\n(GCN 8421) with the Magellan Echellette Spectrograph (MagE) on the\nMagellan/Clay 6.5-m telescope starting on 2008 Oct. 28.326 UT for a total\nintegration time of 1800 sec.  We find a wide range of absorption features\n(including Ly-alpha, SII, NV, SiIV, CIV, FeII, etc.) at a redshift of\nz=3.038, which we interpret as the redshift of the GRB.  In addition, we\nfind several intervening CIV and MgII absorbers.\"",
