MEMORANDUM *
Niveen Ismail appeals from the district court’s dismissal and summary adjudication of her claims, brought pursuant to 42 U.S.C. §§ 1983 and 1985, against the County of Orange (“Orange County”), thirteen social workers employed by Orange County, and Michael and Shelby Ford, who are the adoptive parents of Ismail’s biological son “A.I.” We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and we affirm.
Ismail’s claims arise out of dependency proceedings in California juvenile court that culminated in the termination of her parental rights to A.I. on July 17, 2008. She claims that the social workers involved in the proceedings deprived her of various constitutional rights by submitting false reports to the juvenile court, and that the Fords conspired with the social workers in perpetrating the fraud. These claims rely in part on allegations that the juvenile court made a number of erroneous determinations, including to (1) continue the out-of-home placement of minor A.I., (2) terminate Ismail’s reunification services, and (3) rule that reasonable services had been provided to Ismail.
Also at issue on appeal is a separate claim against one of the social workers, Julie Fulkerson, for violating Ismail’s constitutional right to privacy by disclosing a court-ordered psychological evaluation to a detective who was investigating Ismail for allegedly attempting to kidnap A.I. Lastly, Ismail asserts a constitutional challenge to the California statute governing termi*510nation of parental rights. In addition to damages, Ismail requests “review of her consolidated appeals” to the state appellate courts, which affirmed the juvenile court, and “an order to reinstate [her] parental rights.”
The district court dismissed with prejudice all of the claims against the social workers, save for the privacy claim against Fulkerson, having concluded that those claims were barred under the Rooker-Feldman doctrine.1 Orange County was dismissed at the same time. The court dismissed with prejudice the claims against the Fords on the ground that they are not state actors. Subsequently, the court granted summary judgment in favor of Fulkerson on the basis of qualified immunity. Ismail timely appealed.
“We review de novo a district court’s dismissal under Rooker-Feldman.” Kougasian v. TMSL, Inc., 359 F.3d 1136, 1139 (9th Cir. 2004). We review de novo a dismissal for failure to state a claim. Kahle v. Gonzales, 487 F.3d 697, 699 (9th Cir. 2007). “We review de novo a district court’s decision to grant summaiy judgment.” Weiner v. San Diego Cty., 210 F.3d 1025, 1028 (9th Cir. 2000).
1. The district court properly concluded that the claims- against the Orange County social workers, other than the privacy claim against Fulkerson, are barred by Rooker-Feldman, which “prohibits a federal district court from exercising subject matter jurisdiction over a suit that is a de facto appeal from a state court judgment.” Kougasian, 359 F.3d at 1139. A de facto appeal has occurred “when the federal plaintiff both asserts as her injury legal error or errors by the state court and seeks as her remedy relief from the state court judgment.” Id. at 1140. Ismail alleged a de facto appeal by asserting as her injury allegedly erroneous rulings by the juvenile court and seeking relief from both that court’s termination of her parental rights and the state appellate court decisions that upheld the termination.
Once the court has found a de facto appeal, it must identify and decline to exercise jurisdiction over any issues that are “inextricably intertwined” with that appeal. Feldman, 460 U.S. at 482 n.16, 103 S.Ct. 1303. The fraud claims against the social workers are inextricably intertwined with the state court rulings that Ismail has de facto appealed because those rulings relied in part on the social workers’ reports and testimony. See Doe & Assocs. Law Offices v. Napolitano, 252 F.3d 1026, 1030 (9th Cir. 2001) (holding that issues presented in a federal claim are inextricably intertwined with a state court judgment if the district court could not rule in favor of the plaintiff “without holding that the state court had erred”).
Ismail is correct that “Rooker-Feldman does not bar a federal plaintiff from asserting as a legal wrong” extrinsic fraud on the state court, i.e., asserting “that an adverse party engaged in ‘conduct which prevented] [him] from presenting his claim in court,’” Reusser v. Wachovia Bank, N.A., 525 F.3d 855, 859 (9th Cir. 2008) (second alteration added) (quoting Kougasian, 359 F.3d at 1140). This rule does not apply to Ismail’s case, however, because claims of fraud that “already have been litigated in ... state court” are barred. Id. Ismail does not allege that she was prevented from raising the issue of fraud in state court. Instead, she alleges that she presented her fraud claims to the juvenile court, but that the juvenile court rejected them.
*5112. Ismail argues that the district court erred in concluding that her challenge to California’s statute governing parental rights, which she contends was a facial challenge, is barred by Rooker-Feld-man. It is true that the Rooker-Feldman doctrine does not “prohibit a plaintiff from presenting a generally applicable legal challenge to a state statute in federal court, even if that statute has previously been applied against him in state court litigation.” Mothershed v. Justices of Supreme Court, 410 F.3d 602, 606 (9th Cir. 2005). Nevertheless, the challenge was properly dismissed because Ismail lacks standing to bring it. To have standing to seek “declaratory relief, a plaintiff must show that he has suffered or is threatened with a ‘concrete and particularized’ legal harm, coupled with ‘a sufficient likelihood that he will again be wronged in a similar way.’” Canatella v. California, 304 F.3d 843, 852 (9th Cir. 2002) (first quoting Lujan v. Defenders of Wildlife, 504 U.S. 555, 560, 112 S.Ct. 2130, 119 L.Ed.2d 351 (1992); then quoting City of Los Angeles v. Lyons, 461 U.S. 95, 111, 103 S.Ct. 1660, 75 L.Ed.2d 675 (1983)). A plaintiff must also “show that the feared harm is ‘actual or imminent.’ ” Id. (quoting Lujan, 504 U.S. at 560, 112 S.Ct. 2130). Ismail’s allegations do not show that the challenged statute is likely to cause her imminent harm; even if she is now the parent of another child, her complaint alleges no facts showing that her parental rights to that child are in danger of being terminated.
3. The district court properly dismissed Ismail’s § 1983 claim against Orange County at the same time that it dismissed the claims against the Orange County social workers. For a § 1983 suit to he against a municipality, an underlying deprivation is required. See Simmons v. Navajo Cty., 609 F.3d 1011, 1021 (9th Cir. 2010). Here, the underlying deprivation was that allegedly worked by the social workers, which the lower court dismissed under Rooker-Feldman.
4. The district court did not err when it dismissed the claims against the Fords without considering whether their conduct met the state compulsion test for state action. Ismail never argued to the district court that the Fords met that test. For us to require the district court to develop an argument regarding the extent of the state’s coercion and encouragement of the Fords would improperly require the district court to “becom[e] a player in the adversary process rather than remaining its referee.” Jacobsen v. Filler, 790 F.2d 1362, 1366 (9th Cir. 1986); Bias v. Moynihan, 508 F.3d 1212, 1219 (9th Cir. 2007) (“A district court lacks the power to act as a party’s lawyer, even for pro se litigants.”).
5. The district court properly concluded that social worker Julie Fulkerson is entitled to qualified immunity on Ismail’s claim that her constitutional privacy rights were violated. Qualified immunity shields “government officials ... from liability for civil damages insofar as their conduct does not violate clearly established statutory or constitutional rights of which a reasonable person would have known.” Harlow v. Fitzgerald, 457 U.S. 800, 818, 102 S.Ct 2727, 73 L.Ed.2d 396 (1982). A reasonable social worker would not have understood that it would be a violation of Ismail’s rights to send Ismail’s psychological evaluation to a detective in response to his formal request, which was accompanied by an order from the Orange County Superior Court, after seeking advice from the County Counsel.
6. Ismail argues that she should have been afforded leave to amend her fraud-based claims against the social workers and the Fords. We disagree. A pro se complaint may be dismissed with prejudice *512when “it is absolutely clear that the deficiencies of the complaint could not be cured by amendment.” Rosati v. Igbinoso, 791 F.3d 1037, 1039 (9th Cir. 2015) (quoting Akhtar v. Mesa, 698 F.3d 1202, 1212 (9th Cir. 2012)).
Even assuming that a Rooker-Feldman defect may be cured by amendment, amendment of the fraud-based claims against the social workers here would be futile. As noted, Ismail’s complaint alleges that the issue of the social workers’ alleged fraud was raised and rejected in the juvenile court. At oral argument, Ismail was unable to articulate any additional facts that she could allege to show that the issue of whether the social workers defrauded the state court is not precluded because it has already been litigated and decided by the state juvenile court. See Lucido v. Superior Court, 51 Cal.3d 335, 272 Cal.Rptr. 767, 795 P.2d 1223, 1225 (1990) (in bank) (collateral estoppel precludes the re-litigation of issues that were “actually litigated” and “necessarily decided” in a prior proceeding).
Amendment as to the Fords would also be futile. Merely serving as a foster parent does not transform a private party into a state actor. See United States v. Peneaux, 432 F.3d 882, 896 (8th Cir. 2005) (“[Fjoster parents are generally not considered agents of the state.”); Leshko v. Servís, 423 F.3d 337, 347 (3d Cir. 2005) (holding that foster parents are not state actors under § 1983); Rayburn ex rel. Rayburn v. Hogue, 241 F.3d 1341, 1348 (11th Cir. 2001) (same); Weller v. Dep’t of Soe. Servs., 901 F.2d 387, 392 (4th Cir. 1990) (“[H]arm suffered by a child at the hands of his foster parents is not harm inflicted by state agents.”).
