Legal Question in Workers Comp in California

Work issue
I suffered a brain injury as well as other injuries at work on 2-4-99. I just went to my 4th settlement conference and the defence attorney has asked for discovery to remain open because they want to do some more updated cognitive testing on me by a doctor who will give them a favorable report. The judge allowed discovery to remain open. I have had several cognitve tests done the last one done in 8-15-02 by a doctor the defence refered me to and has concluded that my injuries are real. I was wondering under California law, what is conciderded recent testing? Also do I have any recourse to have discovery closed because the testing is current and has been done by a doctor of their choice? If not can I request that the testing be done by the original doctor that the defence sent me to, who believes my injuries are real? thanks
