Movement to Protect the People and its leader Alicia Boyd have effectively shut down Brooklyn's CB9.

The controversial letter meant to start a rezoning study has been held up for months by Brooklyn's CB9.

Activist Alicia Boyd shouted down members of Brooklyn Community Board 9's land use committee on Monday.

Dwayne Nicholson resigned as a member and as the chairman of Brooklyn CB9, the board office said Monday.

Community Board 9 voted Tuesday night to send a key document on rezoning back to committee.

Brooklyn's Community Board 9 will redraft a resolution on land use changes next month, its chair said.

One board member plans to bring a vote Tuesday on a draft that includes a six-story height restriction.

Pearl Miles, manager of CB9, said she "made a mistake in the count," altering the results of the vote. 

Members of a Crown Heights advocacy group were outraged when they weren't allowed to speak. 

Residents angry that police barred them from entering the gathering began to chant in the lobby outside.

The group Movement to Protect the People rallied outside CB9's headquarters Wednesday.

Critics of a plan to study rezoning on and near Empire Blvd. mistakenly thought the vote went their way.

Rabbi Jacob Goldstein was replaced by Dwayne Nicholson as the chairman of CB9 in a vote Tuesday.
