We report that inspection of CCD spectra (range 340-1000 nm), obtained on March 22 UT with the 3-m Shane reflector (+ Kast) at Lick Observatory, shows that CSS100317:123527+270403 (ATel #2490) is a broad-lined Type Ic supernova similar to SN 1998bw (e.g., Patat et al. 2001, ApJ, 555, 900), probably within a few days of maximum brightness. The redshift of the host galaxy, determined from strong, narrow emission lines produced by H II regions in the host galaxy, is 0.067, in agreement with ATel #2490.
