Can someone translate what this means for us and for ButterflyLabs? What is a "show cause hearing"?

"If it continues to observe inappropriate behavior, the Court will not hesitate to schedule a show cause hearing to address the offending conduct."

If the parties in these proceedings continue to act disruptively in the courtroom, they will be asked to show cause why they should not be fined/jailed for contempt of court. (My guess would be that the judge who brings this complaint has a far better chance of winning the argument.)

See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Order_to_show_cause

You say "us". Are you one of the parties in this litigation? If so, why are you asking HN for legal advice rather than your lawyer? If you've managed to get a judge pissed off at you, you better stop doing what you're doing.
