We present V and Rc band photometry and optical near-infrared spectroscopy of
the cataclysmic variable 1RXS J094432.1+035738. We detected features of a cool
secondary star, which can be modeled with a red dwarf of spectral type M2 (+0.5
-1.0) V at a distance of 433 +- 100 pc.Comment: Accepted for publication in Astronomy and Astrophysic
