Appeal from a judgment of the Justice Court of the Town of Eastchester, Westchester County (Dominick Porco, J.), rendered December 16, 2009. The judgment convicted defendant, upon a jury verdict, of petit larceny.

ORDERED that the judgment of conviction is affirmed.

After a jury trial, defendant was convicted of petit larceny (Penal Law § 155.25). Defendant's contention that the trial court did not meaningfully respond to the jury's request for a readback of a witness's testimony is waived, inasmuch as defendant consented to the instruction given by the Justice Court in response to the jury's note concerning the request (see People v Whitehead, 84 AD3d 1128, 1130 [2011]; People v Jones, 82 AD3d 1582, 1583 [2011]; People v Scott, 60 AD3d 1396, 1397 [2009]; see also People v Zito, 299 AD2d 569, 570-571 [2002]; People v Bobadilla, 254 AD2d 493, 494 [1998]). In any event, defendant's contention is without merit as, at all times, the Justice Court indicated a willingness to abide by the wishes of the jurors (see People v Elie, 150 AD2d 719 [1989]). The court offered the jury a choice between waiting two days to hear the testimony once the stenographer would become available or continuing to deliberate without the testimony.

Accordingly, the judgment of conviction is affirmed.
