PER CURIAM.

Curtis Eugene Ellis appeals the sentence imposed by the district court following his guilty plea to aiding and abetting two Hobbs Act robberies and an attempted Hobbs Act robbery, in violation of 18 U.S.C. §§ 2, 1951(a) (2012), and to aiding and abetting the using, carrying, possessing, and brandishing of a firearm in furtherance of a crime of violence, in violation of 18 U.S.C. §§ 2, 924(c)(1)(A) (2012). The district court sentenced Ellis to concurrent 144-month terms of imprisonment on the robbery counts and a consecutive 84 months' imprisonment on the firearm count. The district court ordered that the federal sentence be served consecutively to Ellis's previously imposed state sentences. Ellis argues that the district court inadequately explained its decision to make his federal robbery sentence run consecutively to his state sentences. We affirm.

In explaining a sentence, the district court is not required to "robotically tick through . . . every subsection [of 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a) (2012)]." United States v. Powell, 650 F.3d 388, 395 (4th Cir. 2011) (internal quotation marks omitted). However, the court "must make an individualized assessment based on the facts presented" that is "tailored to the particular case at hand and adequate to permit meaningful appellate review." United States v. Lymas, ___ F.3d ___, ___, 2015 WL 1219553, at *3 (4th Cir. Mar. 18, 2015) (internal quotation marks omitted).

A district court has discretion to make a defendant's federal sentence run consecutively to or concurrently with an undischarged sentence previously imposed. 18 U.S.C. § 3584(a) (2012); Setser v. United States, 132 S.Ct. 1463, 1468 (2012). The Guidelines also provide factors a court should consider in exercising its discretion to impose a consecutive or concurrent sentence:

U.S. Sentencing Guidelines Manual § 5G1.3 cmt. n.3(A) (2013).

In this case, although the district court did not expressly discuss its reasons for making the federal robbery sentence run consecutively to Ellis's prior state sentence, the district court indicated that it had considered the § 3553(a) factors, the fact that Ellis was currently subject to a state sentence with a release date of May 4, 2016, and the nature and background of these offenses. We note that the district court did not expressly consider the type of the prior sentence, but its consideration of Ellis's expected release date adequately addressed this issue. Thus, we are satisfied that the district court adequately explained its reasons for the sentence as a whole.

Accordingly, we affirm the judgment of the district court. We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials before this court and argument would not aid the decisional process.

AFFIRMED.
