A noisy spectrum was obtained on UT May 28.27 of CSS:150527:132613+394712 using the 1.82-m Plaskett telescope (National Research Council of Canada) covering the range 365-720 nm (resolution 0.35 nm). Cross-correlation with a template library using SNID (Blondin & Tonry 2007, ApJ, 666, 1024) shows CSS:150527:132613+394712 to be a core-collapse supernova near maximum light. We find a fit to the template of (SN IIp) 2006bp at 2 days pre-maximum. There is no published red shift for the candidate host galaxy (SDSS J132612.52+394710.5). There is an emission peak that we take to be H-alpha shifted to a redshift of 0.035.
