His funeral is set for later today in Palm Beach Gardens, FL. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Problem for Dykstra ... &lt;a href=\"http://www.tmz.com/2011/11/11/lenny-dykstra-son-luke-baseball-judge/\"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;he's on house arrest&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; for a whole bunch of alleged crimes, including bankruptcy fraud and embezzlement ... and needs a judge's permission if he wants to leave the state. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the docs, Dykstra notes that he wants to stay until Sunday ... so he can attend an intimate gathering reserved for close friends and family on Saturday.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img alt=\"update_bar\" src=\"http://ll-media.tmz.com/2011/08/09/update-bar.jpg\" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;8:52 AM PT&lt;/strong&gt; -- Lenny got his wish. The judge signed off on the request.&amp;#160; Now, Lenny's just gotta figure out how he can afford the plane ticket. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;!-- relatedlinks --&gt;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
