                             OPINION

PER CURIAM:

   Darcellous Safranske Carraway and Stacey Joseph Milliner each
pled guilty to bank robbery, in violation of 18 U.S.C.A. § 2113(a)
(West 2000), and were sentenced respectively to prison terms of sixty
months and sixty-six months. They contend on appeal that the district
court erred by making their sentences consecutive to the undischarged
state sentences they were serving without considering factors set out
in 18 U.S.C.A. § 3553(a) (West 2000), and the commentary to U.S.
Sentencing Guidelines Manual § 5G1.3(c), p.s. (2001). We affirm the
sentences.

   Carraway and Milliner maintain that the district court erred in not
making explicit findings concerning the factors set out in the com-
mentary to § 5G1.3(c). We disagree. We are satisfied from our review
of the record that the district court was aware of its sentencing
options, of the applicable statutes and guidelines, and was familiar
with the facts of this case. The sentencing court is not required to
make specific findings as to each of the § 3553(a) factors. United
States v. Johnson, 138 F.3d 115, 119 (4th Cir. 1998); United States
v. Velasquez, 136 F.3d 921, 924 (2d Cir. 1998).

  We therefore affirm the sentences. We dispense with oral argument
because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the
materials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional
process.
