  We obtained optical and infrared spectra of Cha Ha 5/cc 1, a faint possibly
sub-stellar companion candidate next to the M6-type brown dwarf candidate Cha
Ha 5 in Cha I, using FORS1 and ISAAC at the VLT. The VRIJHK colors of Cha Ha
5/cc 1 are consistent with either an L-type companion or a K-type background
giant. Our spectra show that the companion candidate actually is a background
star.
