Narrative:
Accepted physical pointout on aircraft at FL350 and approved descent to FL310, had aircraft at FL330, which I neglected to advise other controller. Supplemental information from acn 566670: I physically pointed out aircraft X at FL350, requesting FL310. This was approved. I descended aircraft X and the aircraft got within 5 mi of another aircraft.
