`
`record, and the applicable law. Being fully advised, the court GRANTS HTC’s motion to
`
`amend and REAFFIRMS the amended scheduling order entered on April 10, 2018. (See
`
`Am. Sched. Order (Dkt. # 73).) .
`The Federal Rules of Civil Procedure provide that a schedule may be modified
`
`only for good cause and with the court’s consent. Fed. R. Civ. P. l6(b)(4). Here, HTC
`
`has established good cause, namely that it will be unable to effectuate service on
`
`third-party defendants located overseas until several of the previously set deadlines have
`
`passed. (Mot. at 1-3.) Although CyWee contends that HTC has not been diligent (see
`
`Resp. at 3—5), the court does not find that HTC has been careless in bringing its
`
`third—party claims or in attempting to serve the international parties. Because the court
`
`finds that HTC cannot reasonably meet the previous pretrial schedule despite its
`
`diligence, the court finds good cause to modify the scheduling order. The court,
`
`therefore, GRANTS HTC’s request to amend the scheduling order (Dkt. # 68). The new
`
`deadlines, as proposed by HTC, can be found at docket entry # 73.
