Narrative:
ZAB cleared our flight out of FL370 to descend to FL330. Descending through FL345 ZAB called another flight to level off. Then cleared our flight to turn 20 degrees right and climb to FL350. ZAB then made statement that clearance was for another aircraft. Reaching FL350 ZAB cleared our flight on course and changed us next sector. Remaining trip segment proceeded without incident. No traffic conflict on TCASII.
