Narrative:

Air carrier X was on my frequency. Sector was very busy. I descended air carrier X from FL250 to FL240 and then switched to sector 19 frequency. At the same time, cpr Y was under air carrier X at FL230 and in sector 19 airspace with no pointout. Cpr Y's route was confirmed (rerte) and switched to sector 58. Sector 19 then descended the air carrier X and conflict alert was observed. Callback conversation with reporter revealed the following information: reporter stated aircraft involved were a B737 and a LR25. Reporter stated when cpr Y was rerted he pointed out the aircraft to the sector he coordinated with but failed to give a handoff or pointout to sector 19 that cpr Y was going to transgress. Cpr Y was radar handoff to the next sector so sector 19 did not know about the aircraft. A system error was filed. Supplemental information from acn 263722: cpr Y was en route from ric to isp climbing. He was stopped at FL230 for a final and coordinated with sector below ours. We own FL240 and above. He said pointout approved. Air carrier X was descended to FL240 and handed off to R19. Cpr Y was transferred (handed off) to R58. I saw 190 entered in air carrier X data block. I called R19 to verify. He saw cpr Y and to ensure he wasn't descending air carrier X, he said he was descending air carrier X and he wasn't aware of cpr Y below his air carrier X. Supplemental information from acn 263850: air carrier X was under my control of FL240. Air carrier X was descended to FL190. There was a cpr Y under air carrier X at FL230 which was in my airspace without a pointout. The limited data block was below my full data block and the 2 aircraft were less than standard separation.

Title: ARTCC INTRAFAC COORD. ACR X DSCNT THROUGH OCCUPIED ALT HAD LTSS FROM CPR Y. SYS ERROR.

Narrative: ACR X WAS ON MY FREQ. SECTOR WAS VERY BUSY. I DSNDED ACR X FROM FL250 TO FL240 AND THEN SWITCHED TO SECTOR 19 FREQ. AT THE SAME TIME, CPR Y WAS UNDER ACR X AT FL230 AND IN SECTOR 19 AIRSPACE WITH NO POINTOUT. CPR Y'S RTE WAS CONFIRMED (RERTE) AND SWITCHED TO SECTOR 58. SECTOR 19 THEN DSNDED THE ACR X AND CONFLICT ALERT WAS OBSERVED. CALLBACK CONVERSATION WITH RPTR REVEALED THE FOLLOWING INFO: RPTR STATED ACFT INVOLVED WERE A B737 AND A LR25. RPTR STATED WHEN CPR Y WAS RERTED HE POINTED OUT THE ACFT TO THE SECTOR HE COORDINATED WITH BUT FAILED TO GIVE A HDOF OR POINTOUT TO SECTOR 19 THAT CPR Y WAS GOING TO TRANSGRESS. CPR Y WAS RADAR HDOF TO THE NEXT SECTOR SO SECTOR 19 DID NOT KNOW ABOUT THE ACFT. A SYS ERROR WAS FILED. SUPPLEMENTAL INFO FROM ACN 263722: CPR Y WAS ENRTE FROM RIC TO ISP CLBING. HE WAS STOPPED AT FL230 FOR A FINAL AND COORDINATED WITH SECTOR BELOW OURS. WE OWN FL240 AND ABOVE. HE SAID POINTOUT APPROVED. ACR X WAS DSNDED TO FL240 AND HANDED OFF TO R19. CPR Y WAS TRANSFERRED (HANDED OFF) TO R58. I SAW 190 ENTERED IN ACR X DATA BLOCK. I CALLED R19 TO VERIFY. HE SAW CPR Y AND TO ENSURE HE WASN'T DSNDING ACR X, HE SAID HE WAS DSNDING ACR X AND HE WASN'T AWARE OF CPR Y BELOW HIS ACR X. SUPPLEMENTAL INFO FROM ACN 263850: ACR X WAS UNDER MY CTL OF FL240. ACR X WAS DSNDED TO FL190. THERE WAS A CPR Y UNDER ACR X AT FL230 WHICH WAS IN MY AIRSPACE WITHOUT A POINTOUT. THE LIMITED DATA BLOCK WAS BELOW MY FULL DATA BLOCK AND THE 2 ACFT WERE LTSS.
