		    SN 2000XX in MCG -02-34-054

   Y. Sato and W. D. Li, University of California at Berkeley,
on behalf of the Lick Observatory Supernova Search (cf. IAUC 6627,
7126) with the 0.8-m Katzman Automatic Imaging Telescope (KAIT),
report the discovery of a supernova candidate in MCG -02-34-054.
The new object was  discovered on an unfiltered image taken on
Mar 4.4 UT (mag about 17.3), and confirmed at about the same
magnitude on an unfiltered image taken by Tim Puckett with the
Puckett Observatory 0.60-m automated supernova patrol telescope on
Mar 5.2 UT.  The new object is located at R.A.=13h27m56s.19,
Decl.= -13 24'48".3 (equinox 2000.0), which is 9".2 east and
34".1 north of the nucleus of MCG -02-34-054.  An unfiltered
image on Dec 25.5 UT, 1999 showed nothing at the position of
the new object (limiting mag about 19.0).
