Appeal from the Supreme Court, New York County (Ira Beal, J.).
Defendant has failed to provide a sufficient record to review his claim that the trial court did not respond meaningfully to the jury's request for a readback. The record does not reflect the specific contents of the readback, and the circumstances do not warrant an inference that crucial testimony was omitted (see, People v. Kinchen, 60 N.Y.2d 772). A review of the existing record reveals that the court responded meaningfully under the circumstances.
