We obtained a spectrum of ASASSN-15nn (ATel #7863) on 2015 August 3.5 UT with the robotic FLOYDS instrument mounted on the Faulkes Telescope North. Using Superfit (Howell et al. 2005, ApJ, 634, 1190), we find good fits to normal Type Ia SNe a few weeks after maximum light at the redshift of the proposed host galaxy (z=0.023; Huchra et al. 2012, ApJS, 199, 26 via NED).
