 - Fixed an attribute error in `ColossalAIStrategy` at import time when `torch.distributed` is not available ([#15535](https://github.com/Lightning-AI/lightning/pull/15535))
 
+- Fixed an issue when calling `fs.listdir` with file URI instead of path in `CheckpointConnector` ([#15413](https://github.com/Lightning-AI/lightning/pull/15413))
+
 - Fixed an issue with the `BaseFinetuning` callback not setting the `track_running_stats` attribute for batch normaliztion layers ([#15063](https://github.com/Lightning-AI/lightning/pull/15063))
