M. Modjaz and W. D. Li, University of California at Berkeley, report the discovery by LOTOSS (cf. IAUC 7514) of an apparent supernova in unfiltered images taken with the Katzman Automatic Imaging Telescope (KAIT) on June 19.3 (mag about 16.5) and 20.3 UT (mag about 16.3). SN 2001cp is located at R.A. = 17h11m02s.58, Decl. = +5 50'26".8 (equinox 2000.0), which is 49".1 west and 40".0 south of the nucleus of UGC 10738. A KAIT image taken on June 12.3 showed nothing at this position (limiting mag about 19.0).
