PESSTO, the Public ESO Spectroscopic Survey for Transient Objects (see Smartt et al., arXiv:1411.0299 http://www.pessto.org ), reports the following supernova classification. Target was supplied by the Pan-STARRS Survey for Transients (see Huber et al., ATel #7153). The observation was performed on the ESO New Technology Telescope at La Silla on 2015 April 10, using EFOSC2 and Grism 13 (3985-9315A, 18A resolution). Classification was done with SNID (Blondin & Tonry, 2007, ApJ, 666, 1024). Classification spectrum can be obtained from http://www.pessto.org (via WISeREP).
