In federal court, a ';minute order'; is simply an order entered by a federal judge or magistrate. It is called a ';minute order'; because it is entered in the ';minutes'; of the court. A minute order is typically prepared by the judge or magistrate presiding over the case (sometimes by the law clerk for the judge or magistrate but entered in the name of the judge). Ordinarily, a minute order is a ruling on a request for court action (a motion or order to show cause) submitted by one of the parties to the case. The reference to a ';rule to show cause hearing'; is a bit confusing. Perhaps you mean an order to show cause (sometimes called an ';OSC';) hearing. An order to show cause hearing is a hearing on a particular issue brought to the attention of the court by one of the parties. This is simply a method of bringing an issue to the court's attention, and asking the court to rule on it.
