Smolen ?

Is the partnership playing Smolen, and is this a situation where a
three-of-a-major bid would be Smolen (partner bid 2$D (or 2NT if
playing Extended Stayman) to deny a four-card major, and right-hand
opponent passed, doubled, or bid 3$D or less)?

If partner made a minimum response and you have an invitational hand, sign
off in your major fit at the 2-level (or pass partner's 2-level bid in your
major fit, or bid your major fit at the 3-level over partner's 2NT).
Otherwise, with slam interest (32 or more Total Points between the two
hands), bid 4$C (Gerber).  Otherwise, sign off in your major fit at the 
4-level.

5-card Major,
6-card Minor,
or 2NT
3
With a five-card major, bid it as cheaply as possible.
With a six-card minor, you are better off bidding the minor and forcing to game, so bid it at the 3-level.
Otherwise, bid 2NT

1
5+ card minor ?
4
if you have a 5+ card minor you should bid it at the three level.
A bid of 3$C or 3$D after a Stayman 2$C bid is game forcing and shows
slam interest and at least 5 cards (usually 6 unless you also have
a 4 card major) in the bid minor, or a game-forcing holding in the minor.
