Narrative:
I was working patterson d-side in which our altitudes are FL330 and above. The dayton sector below owns up to FL310 ft. I received a pointout from the dayton d-side on air carrier X, climbing to FL350, eastbound, and I said 'pointout approved.' air carrier X was just starting a turn to the northeast where we had traffic at FL330. The conflict alert went off at the time when I realized that the plane had made a turn to the northeast. Vectors were issued to both aircraft, but separation was lost.

Narrative: I WAS WORKING PATTERSON D-SIDE IN WHICH OUR ALTS ARE FL330 AND ABOVE. THE DAYTON SECTOR BELOW OWNS UP TO FL310 FT. I RECEIVED A POINTOUT FROM THE DAYTON D-SIDE ON ACR X, CLBING TO FL350, EBOUND, AND I SAID 'POINTOUT APPROVED.' ACR X WAS JUST STARTING A TURN TO THE NE WHERE WE HAD TFC AT FL330. THE CONFLICT ALERT WENT OFF AT THE TIME WHEN I REALIZED THAT THE PLANE HAD MADE A TURN TO THE NE. VECTORS WERE ISSUED TO BOTH ACFT, BUT SEPARATION WAS LOST.
