We report optical spectroscopy of a supernovae candidate discovered by the Dark Energy Survey. The spectrum (340-1025nm) was obtained using LRIS on Keck-I. Object classification was performed using SNID (Blondin & Tonry, 2007, ApJ, 666, 1024) and superfit (Howell et al, 2005, ApJ, 634, 119), the details of which are reported in the table below.
