PESSTO, the Public ESO Spectroscopic Survey for Transient Objects (see Smartt et al., arXiv:1411.0299 http://www.pessto.org ), reports the following supernova classifications. Target was supplied by the La Silla-Quest survey (see Baltay et al., PASP, 2013, 125, 683). Observation was performed on the ESO New Technology Telescope at La Silla on 2014-12-20, using EFOSC2 and Grism 13 (3985-9315A, 18A resolution). Classification was done with SNID (Blondin & Tonry, 2007, ApJ, 666, 1024) and GELATO (Harutyunyan et al., 2008, A&A, 488, 383). Classification spectrum can be obtained from http://www.pessto.org (via WISeREP).
