We report that spectra of LSQ14aoh, LSQ14aqd and CSS140330:114223-230653 were obtained with FLOYDS on Faulkes Telescope South. These spectra were obtained while recommissioning Faulkes Telescope South with the new LCOGT telescope control system (in preparation for the new LCOGT network operation, http://lcogt.net/observatory ). Targets LSQ14aoh, LSQ14aqd were supplied by the La Silla-Quest survey (Hadjiyska et al., ATel #3812), while CSS140330:114223-230653 was discovered by Catalina Real-Time Transient Survey ( http://crts.caltech.edu/ ) Classifications were done with SNID (Blondin & Tonry, 2007, ApJ, 666, 1024) and GELATO (Harutyunyan et al., 2008, A&A, 488, 383).
