Tools without more detail, here is a simple approach
Code:
> cat file4
03/29/2008 1.2.3.4 joeyg
04/01/2009 2.3.3.2 holly
06/01/2007 3.5.6.7 sandy

> cat file4x
holly
steve
ricky

> egrep -vf file4x file4
03/29/2008 1.2.3.4 joeyg
06/01/2007 3.5.6.7 sandy

this could be re-directed to a file by adding
>file5 to the end of the command
