Yes.Are there any exoplanets around brown dwarfs?
MOA-2007-BLG-192L ,An international team of astronomers reports today confirmation of the discovery of a giant planet, approximately five times the mass of Jupiter, that is gravitationally bound to a young brown dwarf.

and,The planet's host star is small as well. At roughly 6% the mass of our sun, the star is probably too small to sustain fusion reactions in its core, said Bennett, making it a dimly glowing brown dwarf.

NickThis object demonstrates that planetary-mass companions to brown dwarfs can form on a timescale of τ 1 Myr.

The observations, and analyses, were later published in the Astrophysical Journal: "A Low-Mass Planet with a Possible Sub-Stellar-Mass Host in Microlensing Event MOA-2007-BLG-192"nick c wrote:MOA-2007-BLG-192L ,
