Whether the voir dire transcript that identifies jurors by a changing seat number violates the due process right to a meaningful appeal when there were Batson objections

Question Presented (OCR Extract)

QUESTION PRESENTED Whether the voir dire transcript that identifies jurors for the most part by a seat number, which number keeps changing as peremptories are exercised (making it impossible to conduct comparative analysis), violates the due process right to a meaningful appeal when there were five objections under Batson v. Kentucky, 476 U.S. 79, 88 (1986)?
