Fluxes are measured for the DA white dwarf plus brown dwarf pair GD 1400 with
the Infrared Array Camera on the {\em Spitzer Space Telescope}. GD 1400
displays an infrared excess over the entire $3-8\mu$m region consistent with
the presence of a mid- to late-type L dwarf companion. A discussion is given
regarding current knowledge of this unique system.
