Andrew's lawyers have requested the mental health records of his accuser, Virginia Roberts and plan to question he husband Robert and psychologist Dr Judith Lightfoot under oath.
In a letter to the court, Giuffre's lawyers said Olney could have "relevant information about Prince Andrew’s relationship with Jeffrey Epstein, as Mr. Olney’s name appears in publicly available copies of Epstein’s phone book (or “Black Book”)."
Giuffre's lawyers are asking UK officials for assistance in obtaining this testimony before April 29.
In court filings, they've noted Giuffre's "claims will be adjudicated at a trial in the second half of 2022."

Prince Andrew faces a nightmare in court if he takes the stand in his case involving an ex sex slave of Jeffrey Epstein, experts have claimed.
Prince Andrew faces “disaster” if he takes the stand during the bombshell sex case against him, a royal biographer has claimed.
The Duke of York's “car crash” Newsnight interview - in which he bizarrely claimed he doesn't sweat - should warn him off giving evidence, Angela Levin says.
Andrew faces a lawsuit in the US amid allegations he forced Virginia Roberts Giufrre to sleep with him when she was 17. The duke vehemently denies the allegations.
Ms Roberts has said was a former sex slave of late paedophile financier Jeffrey Epstein.
Writer Ms Levin, who has penned an authorised biography of Prince Harry, says Andrew had just three options to explore ahead of the civil case.

“We‘ve seen that hasn’t worked - it hasn’t gone away. He thought it would all disappear into the night. It hasn’t.
“The second one was to go to America and answer all the questions and nit-pick apart the accusations, which is quite dangerous.
“Remember how he was on Newsnight and then think of him on the stand, giving evidence.
“I think it would be a disaster for him.
“The third one is to try to worm out the fact that his accuser doesn‘t have a case.”
Andrew previously hoped to have the case thrown out on a technicality after his Hollywood lawyer argued the documents hadn't been officially served.
And in his latest bid to end the lawsuit, his legal team successfully argued to receive a copy of a 2009 settlement signed by Ms Roberts.
‘It could be a disaster’
Lawyer Andrew B. Brettler says the accuser had entered into a “settlement agreement” that would end her current claim against the prince.
But Ms Levin said: “That‘s a dead end as well. It‘s just not going to go away.”
She said the suit is affecting the Royal Family “very badly” - and no matter what the outcome, the damage to Andrew‘s reputation will be ”permanent”.
“Here‘s the prince, the second son of Her Majesty, and he’s just going on and on and pretending in his rather pompous way he’s above all this nonsense,” she
