The following excerpt is from People v. Modica, D075386 (Cal. App. 2019):

to continue to listen to the rereading of testimony once it was satisfied it had heard enough."].) Determining what testimony satisfies the jury's request is a matter within the sound discretion of the court. (People v. Cooks (1983) 141 Cal.App.3d 224, 261.) "It is not the party to whom the law gives the right to select testimony to be read. And the law does not make the party or his attorney the arbiter to determine the jury's wishes." (Asplund v. Driskell (1964) 225 Cal.App.2d 705, 714.)
