If $C \subset P^3_k$ is an integral curve and $k$ an algebraically closed field of characteristic 0, it is known that the points of the general plane section $C \cap H$ of $C$ are in uniform position. From this it follows easily that the general minimal curve containing $C\cap H$ is irreducible. If $char k = p > 0$, the points of $C\cap H$ may not be in uniform position. However, we prove that the general minimal curve containing $C\cap H$ is still irreducible.
