OPINION *

PER CURIAM

Cynthia Yoder appeals pro se from the District Court’s October 3, 2016 order dismissing her complaint pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2)(B). For the reasons that follow, we will affirm that order.

I.

Because we write primarily for the parties, we discuss the background of this ease only briefly. Yoder is the daughter of Ranee and Darlene Strunk, and she holds power of attorney for them. In 2011, Wells *168Fargo initiated mortgage foreclosure proceedings against the Strunks in Pennsylvania state court. Since that time, the District Court has entertained multiple pro se lawsuits brought by Yoder and the Strunks against Wells Fargo and others relating to the mortgage foreclosure.

The District Court dismissed the first lawsuit in 2012 for failure to satisfy Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 8(a)(2)’s requirement that a pleading contain “a short and plain statement of the claim showing that the pleader is entitled to relief.” The District Court dismissed the second and third lawsuits in 2013 and 2014, respectively, for failure to satisfy Rule 8(a)(2) and because the claims were barred by the doctrine of res judicata. The District Court dismissed the fourth lawsuit in March 2016, once again invoking the doctrine of res judica-ta.1 No appeal was taken from the first lawsuit, and we affirmed the District Court’s judgment in each of the three subsequent cases. See Yoder v. Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., 566 Fed.Appx. 138, 142 (3d Cir. 2014) (per curiam); Strunk v. Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., 614 Fed.Appx. 586, 589 (3d Cir. 2015) (per curiam); Strunk v. Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., 669 Fed.Appx. 609, 610 (3d Cir. 2016) (per curiam).2

In August 2016, Yoder, acting alone, filed another lawsuit in the District Court relating to the mortgage foreclosure. The District Court granted her accompanying application to proceed in forma pauperis and screened the complaint pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2)(B).3 On October 3, 2016, the District Court dismissed Yoder’s complaint without leave to amend, concluding that the complaint was malicious under § 1915(e)(2)(B)(i),4 that any new claims brought against the judges who handled the earlier state and federal cases were barred by the doctrine of judicial immunity, and that [the court] “cannot discern any other basis for [a] plausible claim that is not precluded.” (Dist. Ct. Mem. entered Oct. 3, 2016, at 8.) This timely appeal followed.5

II.

Yoder’s appellate brief does not challenge the District Court’s conclusion that her latest complaint is malicious under § 1915(e)(2)(B)(i). Accordingly, we deem that issue waived. See Laborers’ Int’l Union of N. Am., AFL-CIO v. Foster Wheeler Corp., 26 F.3d 375, 398 (3d Cir. 1994) (“An issue is waived unless a party raises it in [her] opening brief, and for those purposes a passing reference to an issue will not suffice to bring that issue before this court.”) (internal quotation marks *169omitted); see also Emerson v. Thiel Coll,, 296 F.3d 184, 190 n.5 (3d Cir. 2002) (per curiam) (applying waiver doctrine to pro se appeal). On the other hand, Yoder’s brief appears to preserve a challenge to the District Court’s conclusion that the doctrine of judicial immunity barred her claims alleging that her rights were violated by the judges who presided over the earlier litigation. Nevertheless, that challenge lacks merit. See Azubuko v. Royal, 443 F.3d 302, 303 (3d Cir. 2006) (per cu-riam) (“A judicial officer in the performance of his duties has absolute immunity from suit and will not be liable for his judicial acts.”). To the extent that Yoder contends that the District Judge who presided over the current action was biased against her, we see no evidence of any bias.6 We have considered the remaining arguments raised in Yoder’s brief and conclude that none of them entitles her to relief here.

In light of the above, we will affirm the District Court’s October 3, 2016 order dismissing Yoder’s complaint.

*

 This disposition is not an opinion of the full Court and pursuant to I.O.P. 5,7 does not constitute binding precedent.

1

. Yoder was not a plaintiff in the 2014 and 2016 cases.

2

. Yoder also filed a lawsuit in Pennsylvania state court, raising claims against the attorneys who had represented Wells Fargo in the foreclosure proceedings. In 2012, the state court entered judgment in the defendants' favor.

3

. Under this statute, a district court shall dismiss a complaint if it is "frivolous or malicious,” “fails to state a claim on which relief may be granted,” or “seeks monetary relief against a defendant who is immune from such relief.” 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2)(B).

4

. The District Court stated that Yoder's complaint

> essentially duplicates the claims and allegations raised in her and her parents' prior lawsuits even though those prior complaints were rejected by the courts. In light of the fact that this is now the sixth case filed by Yoder and/or her parents concerning essentially the same subject matter, this Court concludes that the complaint filed amounts to an abuse of process which may be dismissed as malicious.

(Dist. Ct. Mem. entered Oct, 3, 2016, at 6-7.)

5

. We have jurisdiction over this appeal pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1291.

6

. Any dissatisfaction that Yoder might have with the District Judge’s decision is not a basis for the District Judge’s recusal. See Sec-uracomm Consulting, Inc. v. Securacom Inc., 224 F.3d 273, 278 (3d Cir. 2000).
