We report on optical observations of the new LMXB in the globular cluster NGC 6440 announced by Heinke & Budac (2009, Atel 2139) and Heinke et al. (2009, Atel 2143). Observations were performed with the 0.76-m Katzman Automatic Imaging Telescope (KAIT) at Lick Observatory on Jul 30 and 31 UT in the unfiltered mode. A series of 30 s exposures was obtained and stacked, yielding a total exposure of 180 s on Jul 30 and 300 s on Jul 31.
