(Note: Wexner stepped down earlier this year, and so it's "ex-CEO".)
Both Dershowitz and Giuffre want testimony from Wexner and Zeiger, the order notes.
Judge Preska sets a hearing in the case for a week from today: Aug. 17 at 2 p.m. EST.

Giuffre's response to Dershowitz's subpoenas to Wexner also has been unsealed.
She wants to depose and seek records from the billionaire because she says Dershowitz wants to use the same information to smear her as financially motivated.

Finally, a letter by Wexner's counsel is unsealed claiming the clothing billionaire should not be forced to testify in service of Dershowitz "staging a collateral attack on the credibility of Ms. Giuffre."
This will come to a head at an upcoming hearing on Aug. 17.

Important context:
Wexner's counsel deflated Dershowitz's "so-called 'Extortion Claim'" against Giuffre.
"[N]o extortion demand was ever made, no settlement was entered into, and not a penny (or other consideration) was ever paid."
Story update ahead.
