We report the independent discovery of four recent supernovae with the
0.76-m Katzman Automatic Imaging Telescope (KAIT) at Lick Observatory.
All observations were performed with the clear band (close to R) and
calibrated to the USNO-B1 catalog. The independent discovery date and
magnitude along with the last nondetection upper limit are reported below.
