Narrative:

ZAB controller failed to make a handoff on air carrier X to ZLA prior to entering their airspace. Air carrier X was an large transport at FL310. When we observed the limited data block (computer generated) on the aircraft we had air carrier Y climbing that was on a converging course with air carrier X, who was now in our airspace. We issued clearance to air carrier Y to expedite his climb through FL330, and no other action had to be taken. Supervisor was made aware of the situation at time of incident.

Title: UNCOORD PENETRATION OF AIRSPACE. OPERATIONAL DEVIATION.

Narrative: ZAB CTLR FAILED TO MAKE A HDOF ON ACR X TO ZLA PRIOR TO ENTERING THEIR AIRSPACE. ACR X WAS AN LGT AT FL310. WHEN WE OBSERVED THE LIMITED DATA BLOCK (COMPUTER GENERATED) ON THE ACFT WE HAD ACR Y CLBING THAT WAS ON A CONVERGING COURSE WITH ACR X, WHO WAS NOW IN OUR AIRSPACE. WE ISSUED CLRNC TO ACR Y TO EXPEDITE HIS CLB THROUGH FL330, AND NO OTHER ACTION HAD TO BE TAKEN. SUPVR WAS MADE AWARE OF THE SITUATION AT TIME OF INCIDENT.
